Lathe leveling

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FER3aNLtcPs This is not your normal Lathe leveling video. I do a deep dive in measuring how the lathe bed twist and bends when it is being aligned. If you like technical data this video is for you. Don't worry if the tech stuff is not for you you will still get a lot out of this video.

When both the blank and tailstock have the same reading from a dail indicator , then they are alligned.
