Pro tip: an old timer at the Wichita shop told me to quit touching my set screws with a 3/8 ratchet, and it stuck with me
He said I was stretching the pinch screws on my tool holders by leaning on them with a ratchet instead of a proper hex key, and after I switched to a T-handle and snugged them by hand I stopped getting the runout I'd been chasing for 6 months, so now I'm wondering if anyone else got that same talk or if I was just green.
