Actually never bothered setting it up, seemed good enough out of the box. I might use one of the old tailstocks as a base to make a fixed steady, when I need one. I would endorse ARC wholeheartedly, apart from the fact that they are just at the end of the road (14 miles down A46 ) The Clarke stuff is OK, but needs proper setting up. If I buy another small lathe or mill I would get it from ARC and have their main man set it up. Then I would only need to brush off the Hobnob crumbs and use it
