Bill Today I planed a bit if wood from square to round ,it came out tapered although the rails and bed were parallel. The reason was that the tailstock when clamped leaned back from the wood and therefore tilted the live center (a modification ) upwards i:e lifted the wood higher at that tailstock end. All good fun, I do like making logs for the fire. Router carriage is steel galvanized and the zinc is starting to wear of in patches, bad engineering me thinks. Still pleased I bought it, not many about in the U.K. Many regards for your help Richard
