I am making small (.67" diameter) scale model wheels.  I use blanks cut from aluminum bar stock.  I prepare the blank on the lathe, face and cut to length.  The blank is clamped to the table, and the spindle is centered over the blank using a needle point.  The X&Y dro's are set to zero.  The z height is set with the end mill and  is zeroed.  I run the part, and the final product is off center by about .04.  what am I doing wrong?
