I’ve been working on the cross slide from the plans to fit it to a wood lathe off and on for some months; I’m using it as the basis for a home built metal lathe using linear rails for the ways and some pillow block bearings for the spindle. I had little success drilling the 1/4” sections successfully even while clamped; so I switched course and am using 1/2” plate and changing it to a dovetail. Hand cutting them has been a challenge but I have yet another solution for that... anyways, I’ll post some pictures and some revised drawings if people are interested.
keen101, I am VERY interested in anything else you find - I’ve looked at a lot of things that are already online like the mason lathe book, etc, but am always looking for more plans and ideas
