Tailstock alignment tool - a shameless copy
I have been pretending to do some half precise work in my shed. Given this, I needed a way of aligning my tailstock. I was thinking of buying something to do the trick. I do not have a whole lot of time to mess around making tools, yet I find myself constantly doing just that. Tailstock alignment was no different. I found straight forward video from a youtube regular (Ray Caniglia) which had exactly what I needed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utZVv7QvRt8
Having no place to simply purchase one of these I got to work (don't mind the finger in photo #3 - only uploaded to show the slot - 10mm, then 5mm, to take an M5 SHCS). I was happy with the end result.
