If you have the lathe bolted down, check to see if everthing is level and

the tailstock matches with the headstock. Just a thought

Not bolted down, but interesting thought. It has cast iron ways; can
they actually be twisted? Mind you, my lathe has a cheap stamped steel
stand, so I expect the ways tend to force the stand into some "mode",
not the other way around, but still I wonder...

Thanks for the suggestion. I might put a couple of winding sticks on
there just for fun...
