  • Gordy,,whats the shortest barrel that can be set up in that lathe for chambering/crowning???

  • @gonein1minute Offsetting the tailstock allows you cut a taper in auto feed over the entire travel of the z axis.

  • " just wish a version that didn't use a 3-phase motor (don't like spending an extra $1000+ on a freaking rotary phase converter."

    Why not a VFD?

  • does anyone know anything about the quality and hardness of th elathe bed and ways? Seems like it could be a great lathe when they get one a little larger if the quality is good.

  • ... or you can use a co-ax indicator ... I find this to be extremely fast and easy instead of using the test bar method.

  • if you change the alignment on your tailstock you can remove a taper or add a taper to your workpiece. It is a pain in the ass to adjust if you haven't done it before. Best advice is leave plenty of material on your workpiece to adjust the tailstoock into alignment.

  • Making sure you have perfect vertical and horizontal alignment of the tail-stock to the spindle.

    This particular model has the tail-stock 0.001" above center hence the use of a torque wrench to pull the tail-stock down into perfect vertical alignment.

    Just my take on it ... super nice 16x40 lathe though ... just wish a version that didn't use a 3-phase motor (don't like spending an extra $1000+ on a freaking rotary phase converter).

  • what is the purpose of changing the aligment on the tail stock !
