I've managed to uncover the leveling screws at the tailstock end of my lathe.
The whole thing is glued up with many layers of paint. I understand you loosen one screw and tighten the other. Does this raise one side wrt tother? ie induce twist? What does the internal levelling mechanism look like? - I haven't found any diagrams. Do I need to unlock any other screws/bolts first? Looking down between ways, there are 4 suspicious looking holes in the top of the foot casting - are there screws in the bottom of these? Mine are full of years of crud and not easy to clean out.
thanks!
