Leo discussed the process of lining up the lathe headstock and tailstock:
Put a long rod or wooden piece in a chuck in the headstock and then turn the spindle slowly and make a circle mark with a pencil on the end of this piece. This center point (of the circle) is then lined up by precise measurement with the lathe ways using a square and ruler. The headstock will have to be moves one way or another to get the center exactly equidistant between the lathe ways.
A similar process is used for aligning the tailstock. A piece will have to be put into the tailstock. One way to do this is to find a pipe that fits exactly over the tailstock quill and then the same process is used to find the center of this piece and align it with the ways in the same fashion as was done for the headstock.
