    Currently I got no double fixed point, no rectified bar, there is some way or tips for finding the correct alignement?

    I take some picture

    Thanks

    Hey Stefano, Just chuck up something, center drill and use tailstock dead center or live center to piece as long as you can and turn between it and chuck and indicate you will see how it is off, than adjust tail stock accordingly. God Bless Ya Dave
