Hi all,
With tax time coming up I'm thinking of purchasing a lathe alignment tool/bar.
I have wanted a lathe alignment bar for quite some time so this is not about lathe headstock/tailstock alignment theory but more of what size I should get. My lathe has a 5MT in the spindle, should I just get a 5MT alignment tool or should I go a size lower say a 4MT or 3MT and use a sleeve. I realise that I am multiplying potential runout but if I buy a 5MT then it's dedicated to the lathe, if I buy something smaller like a 4MT or 3MT then it may be able to be used for other "alignment" issues.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Simon
