Craftsman 101.07381 headstock alignment

By the way, no one has yet mentioned checking the bed for twist with a machinists level. The bed doesn't actually have to be level in order to work OK but it does have to be straight. And a level is the cheapest way to do that. Under $150 for an acceptable grade of level versus over $10K for anything else.
 
I took your advice maybe a year ago when we spoke about building the bench it sits on and borrowed 1 from a machine shop I had worked at. My new one purchased from msc is in the mail. I will double check now that I have removed the headstock and remounted as many times as I have.
