Where to buy

[Rhys_holland]

Hi all happy new year i am looking for a double ended morse taper to stick in my lathe to align it after i have rotated the headstock does anybody have a link on where i might find one

[Sawdust Maker]

I got mine from Trend Timbers (http://www.trendtimbers.com.au/)
Which is a great help to you living in Melb. :2tsup:

If it's any help it's made by Teknatool (ie Nova lathes etc)

I use two centes, one in the headstock and the other in the tailstock, then line up the points.

don't know what it would cost to ship it.

Maybe less shipping if you can find this

What you want is a Nova Acruline System, I would try Jim Carroll.

I gave up on the point to point method when my tailstock went out of alignment.

Or you could buy a Nova Live Center System (http://www.teknatool.com/products/Lathe_Accessories/Centres/nlc.htm), which has a small double ended morse taper acruline type piece as part of it's setup .

Thanks for all your help

I just put a large cone center in the tailstock and advance it into the morse recess of the headstock. This lines things up then tighten the headstock and done. Would have to be easier than a bouble ender morse taper.
