Hello people.
My efforts at turning components 180 degrees in order to machine the backside have been seriously hindered by a sag in the middle.
The longer the component the wider the difference in the thickness between the ends of the stock (where it is held to the machine) and the middle of the stock (which bends when the bit touches it).
Tips will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Tolu.

put in some kind of steady rest to support the piece in the middle.
