Brings back memories of when I got my old battered ML7. Everything had to be adjusted. Thanks you.

Brilliant Jon, I’ve been machining for about 6 years just as a hobby and these tuition type videos help a great deal, cheers John

Thank you! Really appreciate you and many others that make the time to teach your skills.

Great advice and as ever many wise words. Thanks for posting.

Brilliant John, I really enjoy watching this series. A lot of us can do these things but, not all of us can explain clearly how to do these operations, you do that very well. Thanks for these videos and please keep them coming.

Excellent demonstration John, thanks for taking the time to post this.

Thanks John

Cheers John, spot on demo, and explanation, nicely done bonny lad. Best wishes to you and Debs 😊, Stuart UK.

You need some left handed Micrometers John. 😊

Nicely done John man, thanks for sharing, thats exactly how I do it on my Harrison, only I usually move the tailstock the wrong way at least once 🤦‍♂️

Cheers for the tips.

Thanks John. Going to have to do this on my old Hardinge. They have a three point contact on the tailstock, two at the front and one in the centre at the back, so a bit different.

Thanks

Imperial is good for me still!

Good work

What are you up to, John ? The dial indicator "test" at 11:52 would have shown zero whether there was an offset tail stock or not (since both ends were cut at the same tool setting).

Excellent information John, great video, keep'um coming..

Very good Jon, excellent tutorial.

Magic!

Checking up my toy Chinese made mini lathe.... No center mark, no 2 adjustment screws. One locking screw is found. Untightening that screw and pulling the tailstock I'll likely fall backwards with the tailstock as company..... Thanks for the lesson! I've seen this done before but when not practising, the question is eminent, "How did they do it"? Always god having repetition. From time 08.40.... Why not apply an indicator and adjust according to the indicator? Night sandwiches waiting. Cheers

Hi John, are the bars at 6.35 availablle for purchase anywhere please? many thanks

Thanks
