How do I center the tailstock of my lathe? and got a better answer

Response from
You need to take a cylindrical part and turn the length all depends on the length of the workpiece, then measure the diameter of the workpiece with a micrometer sharpened cylinder at the lathe chuck right at the cams beginning of the part and its end, which is pressed by the rear rotating clamping center part should be with taper not more than two hundred parts on each end, or better achieve accuracy to zero. A lot depends on the accuracy of the machine and how worn it is?

Shocking question, how did it go off center, I wonder? Or is the machine homemade? In metal, in wood?

not everyone can do that, only a few and only in the factory
