I would suggest that you remove the 3-jaw chuck and use a dead
center that has the same taper as your headstock (usually MT3 on
mini-lathes). Similarly on the tailstock (usually MT2).? You've
already shown that there is a misalignment with the chucks, but to
adjust the tailstock, I would use dead centers that fir the
tapers. Then adjust the tailstock accordingly.? Hopefully, the
headstock spindle is aligned with the ways.
