If you put in a heavy weight you'll see the tailstock move down more than the chuck so to speak. For lathe's not bigger than 350mm chuck it's somewhere between 0.03 and 0.08 mm above, also depending on if you have box guideway or linear.<BR /><BR />About the bar puller: http://camforum.autodesk.com/index.php?topic=4622.msg15246#msg15246 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 20:47:51 GMT Laurens-3DTechDraw 2015-03-09T20:47:51Z
