In fact the linear component of the error will tell you how far from the _bed_ axis the tailstock is. A dial indicator on a long bar clocking round the tailstock bore will then tell you something about the spindle axis to tailstock alignment. Ideally you would align the tailstock to the bed, and then the headstock to the tailstock I think. . -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
