Thinking of making a change to my mini-lathe

Bill ,you and the few other members who share what they are going through health wise are already helping the rest of us to put life into perspective, your fighting spirit is what I admire the most, we gain strength from it in our personal battles, keep at it.
 
Hey Bill, I'll send you the extended cross slide next month when I get paid. No need to thank me. I am happy that I can add just a bit of help. You have a lot of knowledge and experience you've shared here and I'm sure everyone appreciates your input. Just wish I could help with the heart problem and cancer you are fighting. Stay strong and get well.

Roy,
This out pouring of help is just overwhelming. I do what I can for others without thought of payment. You have no idea how much I appreciate the help. I will pay this forward when I can.
 
I am also in the process of upgrading my lathe to the 16in kit. I just drilled and mounted the rack and am now moving to the lead screw mounting. Pretty simple so far. Also bought the big boy tailstock that comes on the G0765. It has a nice cam lock to clamp it down good

How much did the tailstock set you back?
 
Did you look at the Benchmaster mill in north Jersey it's got a dro and vise and more for a $1,000. Craigslist still there.
 
yes I did. sent him a message. but I don't think the head has a feed.
