    SKT21LM Tailstock alignment

    I collided (a soft collision) my threading tool with my tailstock live center.

    I checked the turret alignment(it's ok), checked for taper machining(it's ok) and finally I checked the ''main spindle - tailstock alignment (that is not ok)

    I read the ''installation and maintenance instruction manual'' and the procedure to align the tailstock is not very clear. I guess the Korean to English translation isn't good. Though I'm bilingual, I don't understand the instructions... even the French ones !

    Can anyone help me ?

    I'll be ok

    Hey juste to let you know guys that I got it.

    I took the whole day to align my tailstock (That was the first time for me doing this.)

    I did it myself because I'm the only one at the shop to have knowledge in the cnc machines. And there are no mechanics in the area where I work (North of Quebec) So we have to do the repairs ourselves.

    We also have an SKT21LM, The translation is extremely bad. Glad you got it figured out.
