Runout occurs when a rotating tool or workpiece deviates from its intended centerline, creating unwanted movement during machining. Even small amounts of runout can reduce dimensional accuracy, accelerate tool wear, increase vibration, and produce inconsistent surface finishes, making proper measurement and setup essential.
