Subject: [7x12minilathe] Tail stock
alignment on Seig lathes
?
I am thinking of aligning the tail stock on my lathe using a dial indicator
held in the headstock chuck and sweeping the inside of the tail stock barrel
to get a zero zero reading. I also would then fasten the two parts of the tail
stock with a pair of dowel pins to lock the alignment in position. I do not
foresee a need to offset the tail stock in the future because I have an offset
able tail stock center for taper turning.
I think I have all contingencies
covered, but would like to hear from others who might have done a similar
thing. Do you foresee any problems with my
solution?
Thanks
Dick
