Hi,
It's been brought to my attention that our tailstock has gone out of alignment, and I can't get a tech out reasonably quickly. Machine is sitting, does anyone know how to align the tailstock on this lathe? She's a 2008 model, and has 4 bolts which look like they could be for adjustment. Easily done, or should I wait?
Thanks,
 
yes those bolts are for alignment. should be pretty straight forward as long as the rails are straight. as long as you can get it close, you can comp for the last couple thou. for the future maybe adjust your parameters to keep the turret away from the tailstock....this will prevent the tailstock from suddenly moving 0.040 out of alignment;)
