Tail Stock Adjustment
I have bought a Precision Machine 9x28 Lathe. I'm self taught and have about 40 actual work time on it. It took quite a lot tweaking to get accurate results.
The problem is: I found myself unhappy with bored holes being off center. I set the chuck and tailstock center dead onand corrected my material center punch mark. The first time I used it again for this purpose, same result -off center. I again recheck the centers and this time the horizontal was still on but also checked the vertical. There lies the problem. The tail stock on the carraige has a lower center line than the chuck and I have no adjustment that I can see to correct this. Can anyone suggest a happy ending to this. Jim
