I run a Kellenberger Cylindrical Grinder at work.
A co-worker of mine on another shift swiveled the headstock to grind a bevel on a 1" dowel, then just visibly re-lined it up to the "0" line on the scale.
With no chuck on the headstock, a dead-center in the tailstock, what is the best wat to tram the headstock straight again?
My thought is to attach a mag-base with a .0001" indicator on the round plate that the dog attaches to and rotates around the headstock dead-center, and indicate the OD of the dead-center in the tailstock while adjusting the angle of the headstock until tailstock center indicates true. Any other suggestions?
I ask, as I have very little time to mess around with it, and lots of snoops wondering what I am doing if I do anything odd, like precisely aligning anything up.
