How do you typically adjust a lathe to face off square?
My lathe is levelled and can cut a diameter well enough without a significant taper (good enough for the tolerances I work to anyway), but it faces off the work with a noticeable convex which I would like to eliminate.
I assume it has to do with the saddle being slightly off perpendicular to the bed, but there doesn't seem to be any built in adjustment to correct this.
I see a lot of references to adjusting a lathe to cut a diameter...
