Re: machining site
thanks for posting that link. i have been sweeping my tailstock in with a tenth indicator and a magnetic base on my chuck for precision work. this method looks great for a quick check. mounting a tenth indicator on the carriage and running along the top and side of this would also show exactly how far the tailstock is off.

Yeah worked great for me only thing I found my tail is .003 higher than my chuck. Now I'm at a loss how to even this out.
