I am still learning how to use my MicroMark 7x14 mini-lathe and MicroMark milling machine. However, one of the things that has been causing me a lot of grief is how inaccurate the tail-stock on the mini-lathe is. Because I am a complete novice, and because the equipment is so expensive (at least for me). I have been very hesitant to modify it. However, the inaccuracy of the tail-stock was becoming a show stopper and had to be corrected.
The latest additions to tooling for the mill arriived today. I just spent the evening cleaning the packing greese off of the rotary table, four jaw independant chuck and mounting plate.
