Default Re: centering

Clyde , boring always works best near the chuck . If you are boring a piece that will not fit through the spindle bore , you should have a center rest ( Please correct me if I'm wrong ) the farther away from the chuck with out the tail stock engaged your piece will want to drop due to gravity and slight play in the spindle bearings .
