Anyone got a good technique for measuring/setting the tailstock center height?
Right now my TS is too low when workng near the spindle. I assume this is because of bed wear....but I dont know if the height is correct when the TS is way back on the right side of the bed? How do I measure the height of the TS when it is all the way to right? What do I use for a reference surface?
I realize I probably cant get the height perfect for use on every part of the bed, but I would like to measure things so that I could determine an 'average' height that will be 'good enough' for most work.
