Hi,
I recently bought a Jet 1221VS so I can start to do pen turning (and hopefully bigger stuff soon). However, I found that my lathe has a noticeable misalignment between the headstock and tailstock, and I'm a little disappointed. I know it is not a lot but I can tell my mandrel get bent when I press my tailstock in.
Is this acceptable? Is there anyway I can fix it?
Thanks,
Joseph
