Gunrunner you need to order a set of these for the Z axis hand crank. Bill did you just spit coffee on your monitor? :rofl:

Thanks for the explanation! The thin flat stock is smart, as I was trying to figure out how I could cut dovetail holders without a mill. Super smart.
I still have a few small items to finish up, but the lathe is in it's final position and ready to roll!!!
I put the feet under it tonight and leveled it up. Sure is a good feeling to have all that work behind me.
Here are some photos of it in place.
Leveling it up.

I am probably incorrectly posting the question, but here goes - - - What brand and model DRO kit did you install ? I am considering installing one on my Cincinnati 12-1/2 x 36, and yours looks compact on the cross slide. Also, are you satisfied with how it installed and in its performance?
Your lathe looks and sounds nice.

Applied paint to some of the parts. Sherwin-Williams Industrial Enamel HS - Tinted to Vista Green.
Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I don't suppose you have the colour formula for your paint do you? I'm also restoring some machinery, and the "Vista Green" Sherwin Williams supplied is a lovely shade of bright mint green that looks like it would go nicely with some candy stripes on the wheels. Not quite what we were after. I am not sure if it's the wrong base or just completely the wrong formula.
I'm not allowed to post an image of the label, but here is the info on the receipt:

Color: B002 BW-27-20 VISTA GREEN
BAC Blend-a-Color 0Z 32 64 128
