Here is the x axis scale with the compound refitted.
Sweet and juicy, several of these are destined to be in a crumble for Sunday dinner pudding!
Those tools are amazing for the priceMaking a bush to help shorten the bolts in the lathe. It's 316 stainless. Over kill I know but it was a suitable size bit of offcut.
Bang good 16mm shank and insert (a la @doubleboost) in the tool post.
Splash guard is off due to being mid DRO install.

Been shortening screws. Left hand @doubleboost tool in and lathe in reverse to prevent screw undoing.
Once about 0.5mm left remaining, just a light touch with a file to break the edge.
