I Adjusted the offset on the tailstock and took a cut of about 2.704 long on a piece of steel and took a reading with mic. It read .638 at the taistock end and .638 at the headstock end. I'm a happy person. :ddb: :ddb: :ddb: :ddb:

Thanks Don, CC
Now I need to finish up my Paddle Ducks engines that I started on my 7x 12. Man that thing looks like a baby next to the 10 x22.
:offtopic: I'll be doing some mods to the new lathe. I was pleased to see it came with saddle locks and crosslide lock. That wasn't in the specs I looked at before buying it. They are allen headed screws and I will change them to tommy bar type. (Allen wrench ,allen wrench, here little allen wrench. You know the drill. :lol: :lol: :lol:) And there are a few more I've seen on the web i would like to do.
I will try to remember to take pics but I get to working and take few then I get busy and forget. Isn't old age wonderful. :D
I will probably be on a tool making binge too. :dremel: :dremel: I'd Like to make a dividing head and a boring head for the drill/mill plus some other really neat things I've seen on here and the other site.
