as stated moving tailstock perpendicular to the ways to turn a turn/true a test bar/collars. Correct method.

I bought an Asian precision level about a year ago to level my lathe. My approach was that I wanted to get the lathe somewhat level, e.g closer than a carpenter's level, and then use Rollie's Dad's method and a turning bar to dial it in. I couldn't justify spending a couple hundred dollars, or more, for a level that would get me level within .0005" then adjust the lathe "out of level" to get it to cut straight. My 2 cents.
