I'm making an extended cross slide leadscrew for my generic 9x20 lathe.
I've re-alligned the tail stock and have obtained the following dimensions over a 150mm long length of stainless after turning, testing adjusting etc to remove as much taper as possible.
Starting at the head stock and using a micrometer every 35mm I get :-
12.46, 12.47, 12.44, 12.40
Using the vernier I get :-
11.85, 11.85, 11.84, 11.84
Is this reasonable or should I aim for a closer match?
Thanks.
