Thanks Geof. I think I understand what the deflection is now. I think I will try turning between two centers, but first I need to try to align the tailstock. I will do some reading on how to align the tailstock and give it a go.
If the lathe has a gap bed make sure the gap peice is seated properly. |
Nope, the 7x10 isn't a gap bed lathe so no problem there. Haha, but after reading about gap bed lathes to find out what they were, I've got crazy ideas in my head about bandsawing parts of the 7x10 off to make a gap bed lathe.
