    lathe bed trueing system.

    This is a lathe stand I made about eight years ago, it has a built in system for trueing the bed, takes just a few minutes to do it. The video demonstrates how it works.

I should of done it when I got it new and didnt work...and was noisey as hell. now it's quiet.
