It works really well and is a bit more graceful that sliding the carriage by hand. I very quickly put together a youtube video of the mod, here's a link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0U7fZKMbmc&feature=youtu.be If anyone would like more details I do have a drawing with most of the measurements Stu

1 forum posts	This is great. I came across this forum from looking at the YouTube video. I have the same CL430 lathe. The handle on the end of the leadscrew is a bit annoying and have often wondered if there was a way to improve it. I would be interested to know more about how it works, parts source and drawings. Thanks!
