433 forum posts 42 photos	In my quest to semi-restore (not too interested in paint jobs) and improve the function of my Denford Viceroy lathe I am part-way through dismantling the cross slide, apron and compound slide. Despite close inspection, I cannot see what stops me separating the swiveling compound slide from the cross slide. The three grub screws that are used to lock rotation are now fully removed. It swivels freely. The compound slide lifts away from the cross slide by a few mm but is clearly being retained by something. But what? Apart from that, the dismantling is going well. I had to knock out a couple more pins (see my previous thread) but these were much easier and there were no substitute roll pins this time.

433 forum posts 42 photos	I've been scouring the Internet and found a photo that shows the top slide assembly disassembled. Curiously, I still can't see anything that is holding the compound slide in place. Maybe oil and suction? I'll have to take another look tomorrow.
