OK so a bit of an update, so after leveling up again with the engineering level, then putting a piece of 25mm bar into the chuck, the first test cut gave me a difference of 0.03mm over a 100mm length, so a small adjustment later I now have a difference of 0.00mm over the 100mm length.

Next went back to my test bar, between two centres, from the headstock to the tailstock, using the DTI, I started with a difference of 0.04 over the 125mm length, so again a bit if adjustment later got that down to 0.00 over the length, unfortunately I haven't got a faceplate yet, so had to mount a test piece in the 3 jaw chuck and the tailstock, did a fine cut and again got a 0.00mm difference along a 100mm length.

So after all that I do believe I have finally got the lathe set up 😀

So next jobs are to sort out the drainage for the coolant system, and then fit the DRO, then I can carry on with building a model horizontal mill engine 😀

Thanks all for all your help.
