That is really intended for lathes that lack the ones on the slide. It locates in place of the compound slide using the same location method. John - I beg to differ the table replaces the cross slide rather locating in the same place as the compound slide see LINK Bob I'll beg to differ as well as I actually have the one that fits in the same place as the compound slide. The parts they made can be used in various ways as they are interchangeable. The ebay one is usually shown on this. And last but not least Meant to add that some of these are not that good as the location hole in the top slide is too far out so the actual T slotted cross slide is a better option really.

As Bob said, the table replaces the cross slide as a whole (and should have it's own gib). It is much bigger than the sub-table and has the same size "T" slots as the slotted cross slide. If you had one it would not have a spigot but has a dovetail instead to match the saddle. Mark

36 forum posts	Thanks Mike, I'll keep an eye out for that, maybe size them up in the drill or on my brother's unimat. The pins I took out weren't all that tight, only needed pliers for one and mole grips and gentle persuasion with a small punch for the other.
