Beautiful day at work.

Question for you, since you have way more experience setting up axles than I do..
The pattern on that looks good, but I always have tried to get it more centered, slightly further away from the carrier.
Is that necessary?

Guess what that pattern will do as it breaks in over time? :huggy:
It'll settle right smack dab in the middle as the backlash opens up a hair when the bearings fully break in and the gear set does the same.
IMO a well centered pattern crown to root is more important than heel to toe. This is assuming backlash is in spec and you have an acceptable pattern crown to root.

I didn't think the pattern would move that much with break in.
Thanks for the info.
Good to learn something new every day!
