Alignment Centre
The alignment centre (H) is a simple tool as it has a
double-ended taper that can be used on any woodturning
lathe with a sliding or rotating headstock that has a 2MT
spindle and tailstock fittings. Simple to use, just insert the tool
firmly into the headstock spindle taper as you would a drive
centre, loosen the headstock clamp, bring the tailstock up to
the other tapered end and insert into the tailstock barrel. Lock
the tailstock to the bed, then tighten the tool into place by
using the tailstock barrel hand wheel, but not too much! Lock
the headstock onto the bed. Your two tapers are now aligned
as near as they can be on a woodturning lathe. Slide the tail-
stock back and remove the tool from the headstock spindle
taper, see fig 65-66.
