I put the rubber machine mounts under the G0494 lathe and after over 3 years I just checked the level and it was still within 2 tenths. I put a six jaw TMX set tru chuck on the lathe and got the runout down to less than 2 tenths but was getting some taper on the test cut. Had to lower the front tailstock foot a small amount to get a good cut. The tail end is now about .005 low but the test cut is within .0003. not sure what else to do to fix the taper.
