Ed Maisey's Compound Slide Modifications
Ed Maisey says, "If you are familiar with the Hardinge HLVs the mod is a scaled down version of their eccentric top slide locking arrangement. Applying this feature increases the centre line height by .250 above centre, but I believe that problem can be solved by either making two 1/4 in riser blocks (my preference) it will not weaken the stability of the lathe to any extent, or the other alternative would be a drop down tool holder but there would be no opportunity to be able to move the tool bit.”

Nice work! Did you try a flat head screw mounted to the lower half of the compound fastened to a tnut on the cross slide?
