Is there any lasting way to align the spindle and tail stop. The eccentric collar seem to move. Please advise.
Thanks

I honestly don't know. I took it apart and cleaned it, maybe I reversed the washer, but after that nothing moved except for rotation. The dadoes were straight. I do know that I did everything you guys suggested and something worked. The last step was the cleaning and reassembly of the quill lock.

Algale, db5, beeg, JPG40504, and greitz you guys are great. I tried all of your solutions. The real problem turned out to be the quill advancing slightly, enough to mess up a dado. The one solution that seemed to work the best was realigning the washer on the quill lock. I can't thank you enough ...

Guys I am new to your forum. I do need your help, I have a problem with my Mark V that is driving me crazy. A little history I bought this machine about 4 years ago and have been slowly upgrading the tables to 510.

The crazy problem is today while trying to make a dado crossgrain the quill or ...

I installed a new twin bearing quill but i still have a little vibration causing a little run out on the lathe. Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi Guys,

How do I replace a carriage? I bought a 510 carriage and table to install on my Mark V but I do not know how to get the old carriage off and the new one on. Help appreciated.
