Is the tail stock aligned with the center of the chuck?

I have checked that 1 when you told me about it and it was way out . I still get a little run out at the chuck but that could be the adapter plate . I'm having trouble getting the right 1 . but for now my lathe does quite well for a 100+ year old lathe

Everyones advice is spot on. Now I will throw a curve at you. Anyone use Titex drills? They are 3 flute carbide drills that do not require a center drill. They are great for aluminum, brass, cobalt chrome, and titanium but lousy in stainless. I have never gotten good results in any type of stainless.
