Hi guys, I've come to need a striker for a little job, and the only ones I have are a little bit bend, only really apparent when I roll them on my thick piece of glass.
I'm told they can be straightened, but is there any "proper procedure" with this one. I'd thought of chucking it up in the 3 jaw chuck in my lathe and indicating on an end and just gently hammering until it spins with no or very little runout...
My only hesitation it that if I chuck it not quite at the bend I might end up with 2 bends, I suppose I could chuck up the straight section and run the dial indicator along it, and find the point where it starts bending like that...
Any expert advice might save me some time and possibly some damage.
Will post photos of the process when done.
Thanks.
