[Shotout]

Darebee,

OK we did the same thing exchanging level for watching the indcator and indicator position. I noticed .008 difference from side to side as opposed to top to bottom, but it indicated to it's opposite so... The tailstock on that lathe ends up with an offset from CLX after you unlock it and move it. Wrong term, runout? Anyway I'm checking for a taper in the stock and adjust as needed, which is pretty much every time I use it on this paticular lathe.

Geoff,

I'm glad I wasn't to far off in what I was doing at least, stock for the next two shafts should be in the first of next week. So I guess other than the tooling I ordered this morning I'm ready to go.

Thanks to both of you for the help.
