I am not a trained machinist and even I was able to use this (with the help of a few YT videos) to align the tailstock on my Dad's lathe. What a difference, and I'm back in business after a frustrating few months. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tool *by A***R on August 31, 2025* great tool, finally pointed me to the problem being in the tailstock not having a repeatable clamp position ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked well - got the lathe aligned to .001" *by T***M on December 27, 2023* Picked up this bar to see how far out of alignment my metal lathe was as I was getting a measurable taper on longer items. The bar is well packed with grease and wrapping paper on the ends to protect from corrosion. Setup and configuration is super easy. To calibrate a dial indicator and stand will be required - something that any tools shop should have. ## Frequently Bought Together - Edge Technology Tailstock Alignment Bar - Edge Technology Pro Lathe Gage - Edge Technology Tool Post Indicator --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/122909430-27-000-tailstock-alignment-bar-12-lathe-alignment-test-bar](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/122909430-27-000-tailstock-alignment-bar-12-lathe-alignment-test-bar) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
