Re: 7x16 Spindle to Tailstock Alignment Test Outcome
Got a friend with a surface grinder? Setting the headstock up with the spindle bore parallel to the table and cleaning up the base of the headstock would do wonders! The cheap way might be to use

Recent posts above should dispel any consideration of the 7x"10" lathe.? ?This variant, 7x10, has been so advertised for decades, and it is NOT 10", it is 8".? ? You will quickly find the use of
