I have this little HF lathe, which I realize is strictly an entry level machine. It's sole purpose is to drill a #12 hole in the end of a 3/8" alloy cap screw. My question is how to adjust/check the tail stock to get it dead centered on the spindle/cap screw. I've had it real close and even pinned the tailstock to the bed, but it still seems to move a few thou when I change bits.
Is there a small machine available which is more accurate than this machine?
