    John Ewart used one when I did a course at Trend timbers and remember thinking they were pretty useful gadgets. Haven't seen them around locally though.

    Found it on page 20 of the 2009 Teknatool catalogue.
    http://www.teknatool.com/products/ca..._Catalogue.pdf

    Called a "NOVA Acruline System"

    Does anyone know a rough proce for these things locally? Might have to ring around tomorrow morning to check...

    Cheers,
    Dave

    Eep!

    Considering the amount of time I spend browsing Jim's site...

    Eep? Damn and blast! (about as moderater-friendly as I dare). I looked on Jim's site thinking if anyone here would have them, he would. I obviously didn't look closely enough.

    Default THE MC's.

    Hi all,
    I really feel for all you Right Hander's, as Lefties don't have that problem.
    I may have stated once before, that I believe The Lathe was made by a Left Hander for Left Handers.
    We stand in the middle of The Lathe.
    Think about it ???.
    The idea of bending the Speed Arm seems a good thought.
    Regards,
    issatree.

    Is your "pilot drill bit" a #2 Morse taper bit and you grip the actual drill part in the chuck and use its taper to align the tailstock? I used to do this years ago when I had a bucket of Morse taper drills, but to buy a #2 morse taper drill bit would be vastly more expensive than one of these alignment tools.
    .

    As with everything, first thing is to know the name of what you're looking for. I couldn't find one until Sawdust Maker said they were sold by Teknatool, searched their catalogue and found the name of it. I've been through Jim's site a lot as well but never saw them.

    Searching for "Acruline"is a lot more accurate than "2MT line up jobbie thing"

    Cheers,

    That's where tags help; morse, taper, alignment, tool, etc. Ah well, hopefully now that they've come to the fore, Jim will sell some to other forumites now.

    Ah. A man after my own heart.

    Which reminds me, I need to refine the parameters of my latest search.

    "One of them things like what my mate up the road has and no I don't mean his collection" just doesn't seem to cut it.

    Yup, that search will return results for exactly one of the words in there...
