thanks, guys. I had to get a height gauge to discover how much to mill off of the tail-stock joint. i'll be getting the parts to the machine shop sometime today, thurs the 12th of aug. Thanks again

any way to fix it without milling the baseplate of the tailstock? How to measure the height to know how much to mill off of the baseplate?

I ordered a new tailstock assembly from Littlemachineshop.com and its just as high. This is some no name lathe off of E bay. I've had it a year and just now started to set it up. This is wildly out of spec. The original tailstock has a removable baseplate and the new one does not. Also, the new one has the wrong morse taper for my tailstock chuck and live center. So i"ll be returning it. I see nothing for this but to mill off the baseplate TOP. Millilng the bottom that much would nearly remove the V notch that matches the tail stock to the near side way of them lathe. thanks.
