When you swing the compound to 30 degrees, make sure it's 30 from the crross-slide axis not 30 frm the spindle axis. Some lathes have the graduations marked from the lathe spindle axis, you should use 60 for those lathes.
If it's on 0 with the compound pointing towards the tailstock, you should use 60, or 60.5 etc.
