What causes spindle runout?
Spindles may experience axial or radial runout, which both refer to the spindle rotating off of its intended axis. Axial runout is the result of an error in the motion of a spindle parallel to its axis. Radial runout is the result of an error in the motion perpendicular to the spindle's axis.
How to correct spindle runout?
Clock the inside of the spindle taper to see the spindle's runout. Clock a precision dowel in the toolholder to see the toolholder's runout. Clock the taper inside an ER collet chuck with no collet installed to see the runout of just the toolholder rather than the toolholder + collet combination.
