I was frustrated trying to line up the centers on my Rockwell 11" lathe. The tailstock adjustment was by means
of a 5/16 -18 screw and seemed too coarse. Drilling out the screw hole tapping for a 3/8-24 screw made adjusting
the centers much smoother. The new screws were made from allen head capscrews modified to fit.
I imagine this might work on a number of different brands.
