My 25N Monarch just started turning a taper. Held good for 2 years, but needs leveling again.
My question is this:
Should I level off the ways as I was learned years ago, or can I just put the level on the compound slide and level from there? Logic being that the cariage can be moved more accurately than all the blocks and parallel. Am I wrong in assuming this.
I know there is no easy way out of leveling a lathe of this size. Took a month to get it good the first time.
