I think that would be accurate enough.

Yes I've been thinking about that especially with the links to Ball Bearing Manufacturers / Sales Outlets. The key is its accuracy as a small degree out at the base will quickly be exaggerated the further out you go (Yes I know there will be a phrase / definition name for this but, sorry, don't know it).
If, as replies suggest, this side of the 'Pond' we don't use a Tooling Ball here - how do you achieve the same ie centering above a cylinder (3" dia in my case) thats at 20 degree angle to the X Y axis - or do we just eyeball it?? (I guess eyeballing will likely be more accurate than a minimally misaligned ball bearing.....?)
Kind Regards,
