It's pretty hot out in the shop and I know the adjustment isn't "precise" . I'll get all the bits and pieces down to the loading bench and let them stabilize overnight then do a final tune . The temp down in the cellar is more stable and a bit cooler than the rest of the house .

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 .
