Looks like I have a bit of work ahead of me. I should have my surface grinder running in a day or two...might as well go full Monty on the lathe and start from the bottom up.  :ddb: With a bit of careful setup wizardry I can grind the critical surfaces of the casting, as my mini-mill is too small to do it the other way round.

Over at http://www.mini-lathe.com/NewUser/default.asp They offer a mod for making the gib adjustment from the top side. I've never subscribed, but the price is cheap and the mods they put up are generally pretty darned good. Might be worth the price not to have to reinvent the wheel.

I may change mine soon and would wish to avoid a repeat performance  :doh:
