Hi folks,
Just wanted to see if anyone had dealt with the tailstock on the Sieg C6? I've done the standard improvement of re-machining the clamp bolt and plate, but yesterday just discovered how much the upper casting wanders about as it swivels around the pin that controls the set-off.
I've done other mods to this machine from heavy duty to minor ones and if there is interest I will post the pics and notes etc.
PS:
AKA: MJ9526, Hafco MetalMaster AL-60, Grizzly G0516"
Schematic is here:

The pin I mentioned above is part 302 in the schematic. Though my base casting looks likes its been improved over this one slightly.
