UNIMAT lathe alignment bar from LatheCity
Lathe Alignment Bar
UNIMAT SL DB
Align Headstock and Tailstock
Size: Double pin end (tool steel) that fits perfectly in the UNIMAT SL DB lathe spindle and tailstock spindle. Purpose of that tool: If one wants to machine pieces with a small run-out (high centricity), the work piece must be perfectly center drilled. That doesn't work too easily on an UNIMAT SL DB since the headstock is rotatable and it is only aligned with a pin. Even if that pin is used, one can easily rotate the headstock by a degree or more in both directions. Therefore, finding the correct center line is just a guess. The LatheCity alignment bar for the UNIMAT SL DB can help. Other sizes available at Amazon.
