Hi Steven. That was a shock seeing the bubble difference before you levelled it. Nice one showing a machinery levelling shim never seen one before. Tony

I purchased a set of the shims from McMaster-Carr. They range from .001 to .125. The set that I got was for a 7/16 bolt size. The funny thing is, I am retired from the automotive industry and I used to sell similar shim sets for front end alignment. Although they were typically not the thin. With the taper that I was experiencing I expected the lathe to be much further out but I also did not check the bed before I leveled the bench. That may have corrected some of it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

This is different from what I was showed and have done setting up a 6metre bed. The tail stock needs to remain in the centre. Once you have defined the tapper you then shim the pedestal mounts at the tail stock end to align the bed. If the bed mounts are at 2 metre intervals then at each mount you repeat the process. I do enjoy you shows.

The tail stock was removed for purposes of shooting the video. I would normally leave it on. The shims were placed at the tail stock end. There are actually other issues with the bed that I did not address in the video. I am still working them out. But I have the lathe making good parts. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I believe you are measuring a diameter and adjusting a radius. I think you should move the tail stock by 1/2 the diameter change that you want to achieve.
@sharkrivermachine
2 жыл бұрын
You are correct. The Tail stock is moved by 1/2. If you will notice I picked up on that and addressed it on my second cut. Not sure how I missed it the first time. I have been doing this correctly for 50 years. Thanks for pointing it out and commenting.

I have been looking at a method of checking spindle alignment with the ways. It is called Rolle's Dad's method and does not require an accurate test bar nor the tail stock. The method you used seems to be often used just to align the tail stock assuming all else is OK. Great video enjoyed it a lot.

I have a 10in atlas lathe I just purchased. I can not get the tail stock centered for nothing. Every time I try to drill I can see the material lift up from the center drill being low
@sharkrivermachine
2 жыл бұрын
That is a problem that I have not encountered before. If the tail stock center is low it must be completely worn out on the bottom. It would have to be shimmed up somehow. Put a piece of material in the chuck and turn it to a point then put a center in the tail stock and slide the tail stock up to the center in the chuck. Observe the offset in the points of the centers if there is any. This will prove whether the center is low or not.
