So, I have been using a metal lathe a lot lately. Tailstocks on metal lathes have Gibs on either side which allow you to adjust the tailstock so it is directly aligned with the headstock.
I find this feature really necessary. All 3 of my wood lathes are not aligned properly. Frankly I can't believe they don't offer it on every lathe, wood or metal.
Anyways, is there a wood lathe that allows adjustment for this reason? I know they offer lathes with headstocks that rotate. Is that one of the reasons for the rotatation of the headstock?
