I believe he is referring to you and a pic of your tool post and compound slide as well. I'm pretty sure he is thinking that there might be a rigidity issue there. I don't personally see how a belt issue can cause a poor finish when your headstock is running true."I have a suspicion based on personal experience....humor me?

To whom & what are you referring?

Yes, that was on my mind.. I had a finish similar to his when I installed a Chinese QC tool post. Found the bottom surface was not "flat" and when tightened down the actual load bearing area was right around the bolt. (imparting a microscopic rocking) Just ground off tiny amount of metal all around the bottom surface almost out to the edge, and it cured it immediately.
