I nearly bought a lathe which had lost its cross-slide (though one has to wonder how) with the intention of making a new topslide. That way you get the opportunity to make room for the nut. You gain a lot of room once you realise that there is no longer any need for a compound slide. Such a top-slide might as well incorporate a cast-in bore for a toolchanger too. -- atp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
