Lathe Alignment
When the lathe is installed and ready for use, it is recommended to check the machine
alignment before beginning work. Alignment and leveling should be checked regularly to insure
continued accuracy.
1. Start with a straight steel bar with a
diameter of 2.00” (approx. 50mm) x 10”
(254mm long).
2. Span it in the chuck without using the
tailstock.
3.
Cut off a chip over a length of 6”
(152mm).
4. Measure and compare the diameters at
Point A and Point B. They should be the
same.
5. To correct a difference in readings,
loosen the four headstock hold-down
bolts shown, that hold the headstock to the bed.
6. Adjust the headstock by backing off the jam nuts and re-
positioning the adjusting bolts.
7. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the A and B dimensions are the
same.
