![]() Since I am interested in the rotation axis is needed to check the average position -from 0 – 180 degree rotation- measured at some positons on the bed. To solve this, I will take of the head stock and align it better.ġ) 1) Take out the shims and level the bed.Ģ) 2) Align the headstock – I will check that by using a long unsupported thick rod clamped in the headstock and a gauge magnetically clamped on the carriage. The bed however is measured with a precision spirit lever far from flat, it’s twisted. It’s not the way to solve it in my believe but shimming (0.2 mm) the diagonal support feet the lathe works fine and I am able to get a diameter equal or better within 0.01 mm. It’s not possible to machine something (unsupported) with an equal diameter. Based on the manual, I believe the bed and the headstock are only bolted (4x). Until now I did not yet fully disassemble it. I own a 150 mm Atlas 10200 lathe (metric version of model 10100) and need to align the headstock to the bed. ![]()
