What is the worst case of correctable bed twist you have seen or fixed? I moved a reasonably accurate heavy 10 across my shop by lifting it from under the bed with a forklift and now it is cutting a taper that's close to .002" per inch. (unsupported 1" diameter aluminum sticking out 3" yields .006" taper) I don't seem to be able to remove very much of it with just the front and back leveling bolt system on the tailstock end foot. Range of adjustment ceased before the goal was reached.
Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions? The diameter is smaller at the chuck jaws and grows larger as it goes down the machine. Anyone shim under one side of the foot itself?
Thanks.
