Re: Rear mount cutting tool, I went to the trouble of making a new cross slide base for my Atlas Clausing MK2 620 lathe. put a rear mount cut off tool on it. It worked fine until it somehow jammed and lifted the back of the cross slide about an inch. The problem could be the plastic gib on the cross slide. I've been thinking about making a bronze gib to take it's place, haven't done it yet .
Tom, I wonder if the center height of your parting tool might be a tiny bit off?
