Realized I was cuting a tape the other day. It was .002" over a 3" length. I've taken a lot of time to level my lathe and it cuts a taper of .0002" over 5" with no TS suppport.
I checked the TS alignment and it is aligned to the headstock both horizontaly and vertically. I then tried turning a peice between centers, there is a taper there also.
I'm sort of confused on what to do next. Do I offset the TS to eliminate the taper or could it be something else?
Also, on my TS i have the normal screws on both side to adjust the horizontal offest but there are two small set screws on the front as well. Not sure what these are for.
