Thanks for the reply ! I did not see what I was looking for there ... I had also checked Midamericapool and Google ...

Exactly what I was looking for ... I will PM you my address and just let me know what I owe you to cover shipping etc. Thanks !

I have seen risers designed to increase the swing of a lathe. Typically a 1 inch center line riser for the dovetail style mini lathes. What do you do to raise the tool ? I am envisioning a 1 inch taller tool post or a riser block to mount on the cross-slide compound which would then have the...

That is a very difficult job. I did a job like that on a cue and it took forever to get everything just right again.

The centerline of the large bore headstock mounted on dovetail directly on the CNC bed is 2.5 inches. The overall height of the headstock jaws and assembly is around 4-4.25 depending on what you have in the jaws ... mine with a fully opened chuck is about 4.75 I also noticed that Todd has an...

I’ll measure it for you tonight when I get home ... I’ll try and get some better photos of the setup ... those were test shots from a couple videos ... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When I built mine I unscrewed the dovetail from the extrusion and mounted the dovetail directly to my CNC table surface. The headstock and tailstock still easily slide onto the dovetail mounted on the table. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I use a 48” dovetail bed with an indexing headstock that has a dead center in the chuck and a drilling tailstock chuck with a live center in it. I purchased all of my supplies at MidAmericaPool. http://www.midamericapool.com/parts---accessories.html This may be more than you are looking for to...
