    Yeah, but as soon as you pick them up they will start to grow.

    How are you cutting and squaring them?


    I'm using the Dremel with a reinforced cutting disc mounted in the
    clamp that's held in my lantern toolpost on the lathe . The holder is
    clocked a degree or so counterclockwise from parallel to help prevent a
    convex end profile .
