Hi , chaps , I am an avid wood turner and have been using my home made lathe since 1983,it has had several iterations ,latest of which is an inverter drive set upwhich has transformed it's capabilities , the final tweak I want to improve is the alignment of the tailstock on the bed , the bed is made up from 2 8ft I beams ,my question is, how straight is bright mild steel strip , my thoughts are a piece on top of each of the beams fixed with counterbored pan head screws, would the stock material be straighter than the I beams ?..
Cheers
