Neat, obviously a somewhat larger lathe than mine. My crossfeed sled's mounting disk for the compound feed isn't centered, but offset to the front of the lathe where the compound is bolted to that rotating disk. But that looks doable with the right surgery on the bottom of the slide. That saddle type bearing mount I didn't see on the Nook pages. Homemade or ? Approximate cost for the 4 pieces? Screw, bearings, nut, and nut mount. Thanks Andy. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
