    Solid Tool Post Mount



    Hi all,

    I had a go at making a solid tool post mount to replace the compound slide on my lathe. As can be expected, the tool post handle ended up pointing 180 degrees the wrong way!

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    Thanks for the tip! I managed to work it out in the end, surprised I've never managed to get it the wrong way round before now.
