I’m working on some alignment checks with the American Pacemaker lathe. We’ll check tailstock alignment when supporting work with a center and also headstock alignment to see how straight it’ll cut without a center to support the work. This mystery metal turned out to be stainless. Not what I was wanting to use but might as well run what ya brung 🤷🏽‍♂️ #abom79 #lathe #manuallathe #manualmachining #vintagemachines #oldtools #americanpacemaker #machineshop #alignment #tailstock #tailstockalignme
