Indeed, but I can always return to it and the old tool post if neededThey are a good tool post had one on my last machine....but yhe top slide does have its uses, once you get the hang of things
Nah - this is more funThere is - sell the toolpost and buy a shorter one.
I haven't any drawings. Made it up as i went along but there are a few designs on the net if you Google it.Have you got some drawings for that? It looks good and I'm sick of my 4 way toolpost!
Yeah as addjunkie says you want a Dickson S0 or similar sized one with very low centre height.
Mine? It's a 4.5" chuck and a 7" swingIs it really just a 3.5" centre height lathe? Looks bigger in the pics but they can be deceiving.

I think the tool post is the rightish size for this size of lathe, but the 70 year old slide collection just seems abnormally tall compared to more modern machines.
