FIGURE 4
THIS IS IMPORTANT:
Use one precision level at least 10 ” long - level
should show a distinct bubble movement when a .003 ”
shim is placed under one end.
4. If lathe is anchored to floor, anchor bolts should
be finger tight, or until the lock washers start to
compress.
Lag screws should be tightened, then
backed off about one-quarter turn.
1. First level bed longitudinally by turning the lev 
eling screws on the cabinet base - refer to fig 
ure 4 for level positions.
5. Recheck the level of the lathe — unequal tighten 
ing of anchoring bolts may have pulled the bed
out of level. Recheck leveling in 5 days. Check
level of bed at frequent intervals. Chatter - turn 
ing taper — boring taper — facing convex or con 
cave is usual ly the result of an improperly leveled
lathe.
2. Next level both ends of the bed. The headstock
and the tailstock ends must be checked with the
level placed at right angles to the bed. Refer to
figure 4. Use a square to align the level. Do not
turn level end for end. Compensate for variations
of bubble readings by turning the leveling screws
until readings are the same at both headstock
and tailstock.
