I have a Boxford CSB Lathe.
The compound slide is lined up square with the chuck as per the pics but the gauge on it reads 16 degrees, surely it should read 0 or am I missing something.
It's not an issue for my use but curious as to why the gauge would be off. Or is this how they're supposed to be for a reason not known to me?
Squared to the chuck
Straight edge along the toolpost mount.
Yet the gauge reads 16
