How to align lathe centers on an ER10?

[ERLover]

The centers are about 3/32" off of each other when mated up/kissing.
Is there a way to adjust them?

The tailstock insert is offset- eccentric. Loosen it, turn to align and retighten. Recheck alignment. Rince and repeat till allighned.
Trying some turning are ya?

sometimes it is easier to use a drill chuck to align with the tailstock.

The 10ER tail stock insert is not eccentric like the MK V. Since the 10ER tail stock is fixed in the vertical direction an eccentric will not work.

In fact the outside diameter of the insert is 7/8" and the hole in the tail stock is 1" inside diameter. Just loosen the nut, align both vertically and horizontally and tighten the nut.

Not me yet, I was over by my nephews installing the HS to replace his humming greenie HS and he was trying to recenter a mallet he turned for me to thin down the handle a bit and noticed the centers where off.
I was not sure if it was like the V's with that eccentric adjustment.
Thanks.

I thought you might have a manual, guess not as other wise you would have looked it up......... well I guess sometimes it just easier to ask a question here.

Does this sound familiar? If you are going to complain about some one doing something its best you are not also guilt of it.

Nothing I saw in the manual posted here that was redone.

For future reference, if the hardware(tail stock/eccentric/set screw) is the same it works the same.

The 10E is not adjustable, the 10er is as previously described.
