In this video, I walk through the installation of a Trav-A-Dial on my 1942 South Bend Lathe. A Trav-A-Dial is a handy tool that gives you a precise way to measure linear movement directly on the lathe without needing a digital readout (DRO). It’s great for improving accuracy, especially on an older machine like mine. I go through the process of mounting it up, making adjustments, and getting it ready to use. I still need to calibrate it for absolute measurement once I figure out how to make the right gage.
