I have inherited a 1960 Storebro Bruk Lathe made in Sweden. I have leveled the bed way to remove any twist, and have indicated the ways to ensure there isn’t a variation due to the bed gap.
My problem is I am getting .005” taper over a 3” cut, smaller at the chuck end. Deflection is not the issue. Bed wear may contribute to some of the issue but not all of it.
The headstock is mounted directly on the ways, and I don’t see any way to align the headstock. Is there anyone else out there with this machine who has had to align the spindle with the ways?
Any help would be most appreciated.
