[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 398728, member: 24284"] I have found, over the years, that there is not too much that hasn't been tried, at one time or another, when it comes to gunsmithing. I suspect there's a reason why most use the tail stock. It seems the natural way to do the job (the end slide or tail stock). I never remember using a 'round' tool mounted on a 'side' slide, in the years I worked in job shops, not that it couldn't be done on the right machine, I guess. I'd make sure the lathe is level (with an engineers level) and then straighten out that tail stock. That's part of owning a machine, knowing how to adjust it when it gets 'out of wack'.I know, it takes time, but, you'll want to use that tail stock for other jobs too, and it will need to be true to the spindle. And, you will learn more about your lathe in the process. No need to over complicate what should be a straight forward machining operation. Think about it for a minute,,,,,, if you are going to make a reamer holder the tail stock needs to be trued to the spindle anyway! Just my 2 cents [/QUOTE]
