Have you inserted a trued up long piece and measured the runout on both sides yet to see if both chucks are matching in the runout? If not equal, is it easy to adjust to get it there? I'm curious as I would like to do this for my atlas, but am concerned about the alignment between the 2.

I installed and turn on the lathe, I did not have a chance to check what is the runout yet. I am sure that should not be a problem to make final adjustment.

Thanks Scott , I think I'll like this set up more better than the old Porper lathe set up with a long pipe and a steady rest with 3 black rubber rings that make a black mark on you cue or shaft:thumbup: .:D

No I don't.
I use inside spindle collets.
What's the runout on that thing when you insert a long rod?
Can you get it down to less than a thou?

I use the same thing on my Atlas, which is a pain in the a$$ to dial in sometimes. A good rear chuck system would be great.

How long of a rod? 1" out is .001

You want something other than wood, more like phenolic or a good plastic for the rod. I would first turn the rod between centers to true it up, it must be long enough to span both chucks and then sticks out atleast an inch in the front and the rear. I then would then chuck it up and then measure the runout in the front, then the rear. I would also mark the higher side with a sharpie, then do the rear and then compare to see if the 2 higher sides align together.
Just my way of doing it.
