    hi im denis
    i have 2 boxford tcl
    in this period I did a check on the lathe and I checked the z axis if it was perfectly in the center with the spindle center.
    but I have found very big difficulties.
    I would have several ideas how to align the tip but with processing and modifications.
    Do you have any idea where the axis that commands is based, the tip or can you adjust the spindle sleeve?

    the conicity inside the tube is cmt5?
    I would think to put a pin and do some tests.
