Easier Ways to Turn Multiples

Easier Ways to Turn Multiples

Are there ways of using patterns or techniques for turning multiples, like chessmen, that eliminate repeatedly stopping the lathe to take measurements? 

John Brock: There is no need to stop the lathe to check a diameter when using inside or outside calipers designed for turners, provided you have a light touch and observe the other obvious safety rules, like not wearing long-sleeved shirts or loose clothing when turning.

Carol Reed: Check into lathe duplicators.
