Simple to use, drastic change in the performance of my machine.
The price can't be beat. I am not a trained machinist and even I was able to use this (with the help of a few YT videos) to align the tailstock on my Dad's lathe. What a difference, and I'm back in business after a frustrating few months.

Great tool
great tool, finally pointed me to the problem being in the tailstock not having a repeatable clamp position

Worked well - got the lathe aligned to .001"
Picked up this bar to see how far out of alignment my metal lathe was as I was getting a measurable taper on longer items. The bar is well packed with grease and wrapping paper on the ends to protect from corrosion. Setup and configuration is super easy. To calibrate a dial indicator and stand will be required - something that any tools shop should have.

Accurate!
Simple way to align the tailstock ACCURATELY. My lathe is an old Atlas/ Craftsman my Dad bought when I was a kid. (i'm 88 now) . I'm not a professional machinest, I was a mechanic. I've always checked tailstock alignment using various home-brew methods, but was never sure. I was pretty sure how to use this device, but reading the directions confirmed how it was to be used. At 1st check, I was out about .003". After adjusting the tailstockto .000" using this devise, I checked again, repositioning the headstock & tailstock centers a few times & I never got more than .0005" variation. Pretty darn good for an old budget machine. This tool made it easy.

This makes Tailstock alignment quick and easy
It was well made and easy to use. Once it was installed I was able to quickly align my lathes tailstock. Now when I'm turning a piece on my lathe there's no longer a taper in the turned piece.

Real precision at a bargain price
On my Mitutoyo the diameter of the ground ends read exactly the same at .99555. Nicely packaged in a clear plastic not-roll-away screw-together tool tube like for a really big drill bit. Ends wrapped in greasy paper. Has a satisfying heft to it. Comes with a manual you don't need. Beware negative reviews from some who didn't read up first and complain about concentricity of the aluminum bar which is not for indicating, only the ground ends are. No part of this is meant for chucking, only for dead centers, for the purpose of aligning in the tailstock, just as its name says.
