The easier way to tell is measure the diameter of your pinion gear with calipers - It will be either .220 or .250. Also usually if you have a 10" long gear rack you should have the .220 and if you have the 42" long gear rack it should be the .250. They me be some older exceptions to the rack...
That will be
That will be the ones if it is an older version. Not really sure how to tell the cutoff date. You could probably measure the id of the hole and looks at a screw size chart to tell
The older versions had a 2-56 x 1/4″ Button Head Screw . It appears they have been switched to a 4-40 x 1/4" socket head cap screw. I and not 100% on it purpose since there is a set screw from the side, probably just to ensure that the dial is used all of the way back but I would replace it and...

I have something in development - not sure of an eta but it is coming. I have a prototype in hand but want to make sure it is 100% before releasing it to customers.
Yes sorry this was a very old post. I have since purchased the Mid-America lathe company and changed my website to www.cuemakersupply.com I have removed the cross slide mount for the time being and working on a total redesign of it. I will have them available again in the near future and much...
