there is no need that the test bar was perfectly straight you may turn the chuck and sign the higher and lower reading of the dial indicator, then take the average (middle) repeat this operation near the headstock and near the tailstock until you get the same readings (same average reading) hope to had explained, sorry for my english :doh: |

Another way is to mount a magnetic base to the ways or the chuck and have the dial indicator touching the side of the compound, move the (carriage) back and forth and adjust until the dial indicator needle doesn’t move. Dave |
