Thank you all. Well the vert slide  will mount on the tool slide but it is a bit height so I milled the top half of the slot turned the piece round and did the bottom. I decided against using a tee slot as the mount is not big enough for much side to side movement, so I put another anchor hole 5mm to one side and made the mount a bit larger thats why it covers the degree gauge. The reason being that with the vert slid mounted in place of the tool slid movement across the bed is small. I have had another idea which might be even better,get a piece of 25mm plate 130mm x 400mm have it ground flat and true have a tee slot to match vert slide machined along the length and mount on the cross slide, and bob's your uncle, you can move the vert slide the full length of the cross slide.  thats a job for another day,next on the list of bit's is a rear tool post and you have guessed it a ball turning tool. All with a picture log.
