So, the odyssey continues... I got the Bearings in put all gears etc back on. I was breaking the bearings in and I could hear slight clunking sound every once in a while. I took off the pulleys and all again then tapped in the left side bearing making sure it seemed all the way in and maybe a bit of preload on it. After putting it back together the noise had stopped so I assume the bearings just needed to be a little bit tighter. The spindle runout seems good, less than a half a thousands. I put a piece of 3/5 inch tool steel in the chuck and measured from one end to the other with my gauge on the carriage which showed me the head stock seems a bit off. Over about 8 inches it has a variance of about 4 thousands of an inch. So, it looks like im going to need to loosen the headstock and get that adjusted. sounds like it will be fun loosening the headstock to adjust. This was with my 3 jaw chuck so just to be sure, even though it will probably still be off, I am going to try the test with my 4 jaw chuck. After that gets adjusted I will need to adjust my tail stock too I presume. I will let you know how it all works out. Warren
