Additional note on lathe leveling

Jeanie/Carl #125 开云体育 Learned this one from an old timer. ? Four pieces of drill rods about 2 to 3 inches long, diameter big enough to be taller than the?ways, but not so big to be cradled by the ways. ? Two at the headstock, and two at the tailstock, place level on the rods. ? Reasoning on this is -?older lathes with non-hardened ways wear on the ways, the use of the drill rods?- is on the flat surface that has little or no wear. ? Been using it, works for me. ? Carl
