How I True My Lathe 

You are very kind to show how to level a lathe the right way----thanks frank

58:19 - Excellent explanation. Was really confused how it worked and theory behind it on how to level the bed, I have seen many showed the test bar cuts but really didn't understood the concept of it. The triangle example makes more sense now. Super informative and provided all the tooling/metrology required. Thanks.

Subscribed 7 minutes into this video. I recently moved to a new workshop and busy building levelling feet for all my machines as I bought the company with used machines. Next up wil be my crankshaft grinder to get scrutinised.

Man I love your detail and in a way I can understand it. Please put out the videos that will help us newbies. I greatly appreciate what you have shown so far

Thank you. Excellent explanation, very informative. Worth every second.

Excellent presentation I really like your attention to detail and the way you strive for perfectionism. Thanks, Lou

well done, loved the detail

Tremendous information for me!! Very useful!!!!

Awesome video!!! I'm getting my first lathe and setting up my lathe to your advise.

I've been looking at this same lathe for a while now. Very glad to see the complete lvl process on it. Also going to be pretty happy watching you turn out parts and chambering on it. I vote for a floating holder.

Excellent and very easy to follow. Thanks for sharing!

Great video, really appreciate you taking us through your process. I will be checking my lathe agin and trueing the tail stock with your method. I vote for solid reamer holder

I vote for a floating reamer holder. Thank you for showing the detailed steps for tuning up a lathe.

Appreciate the time you put into this. What leveler feet do you have on there? Just picked up a new to me lathe.

Did you show in the video the adjustment on the headstock, where it’s located?

I'd say I'd like to see the non-floating reamer holder, in detail and of it being set up and used to chamber a rifle barrel.

Very good straightforward info !

Well crap.. I only have four leveling feet. Two under the headstock and two under the tailstock. I've got it level, but the headstock is off. I've got .017" run out on the chuck too which is not helping things. I have a clausing metosa c1330s and its been quite the learning experience getting it setup and cutting. Thanks for sharing your process. It was interesting to see.

One hour and 16 minute video with 15 minutes information . You might consider speeding up the cutting portions of the video. . Honestly a good video just way too long for many but the newest of machining folks... Sorry if I sound to critical for many but I know if the video is too long you just loose many viewers who really need the information... Thanks for Sharing ...

Man what a great video. I am a 73 year old newbie to the hobby. I am do y’all of this with my labland lathe. I must what to do if the triangle is not equal . The nod was good but when you put your dumb bell in if the ends are not equal what do I do to get it equal

I miss your posts, I hope you come back to youtube with more informative videos.

speed up please

Hi, could i use a self levelling laser to get the level to be true??? Thanks.

What oil do you use in your lathe?

I'm interested in the solid reamer holder

I dont think you could get any more cut and dry with a how to video, only thing more you could do is just go level every viewers machine in person.

for the newbie. you spend your time tapping on some upper surface of a lathe that obviously has no concern and no adjustment to squaring. What would not be better to move the camera and your pointer stick to the areas to be adjusted?

Did you fart at 14:29 i knew this was a comedy when you said your digital calipers where good to the tenth

The photo is my wife

All that high and mighty calibration talk then you claim that your caliper are to the tenth COME ON MAAAAAAN !!!!!!!!!!!!

Too rambling
