There are pretty easy adjustments for horizontal adjustment, but not vertical so hopefully that part is ok. If not, going up will definitely be easier than going down with the help of good shimstock.The fastest way I found to check alignment was to chuck a coaxial dial indicator up in my 3 jaw (assuming that the chuck is centered) and I put a piece of machined round stock in the tailstock chuck. Then its just a matter of moving the tailstock in and out to check for being true with the bed ways, and spinning the coax indicator around the round stock to get the tailstock centered with the spindle, making necessary adjustments to dial it in. Hope that helps.
