John, Those 2 screws on my machine protrude inside the headstock! You can see the shadow in this shot. I guessed they were for motor positioning........ Thanks for the Gadgetbuilder link. :thumbup: I`m afraid that`s all a bit too much faffing for me. The lathe was very accurate straight out of the box, even the tailstock alignment....... I usually chuck a piece of 5/8" x 12" brass, protruding 1" from jaws. Skim o/d with knife tool, & check the dial reading. Centre drill. Then set bar to 3" protrusion. Check skim dial reading. Set bar between centres. Check skim reading at tailstock end, centre, & chuck end...... Quite accurate enough for trolley tokens & "widgets" ! :thumbup: David. |

Ah yes, arn't they for adjusting the motor belt tension? |
