So I've started converting the crosslide on my 13 to large dials. This involves making a new bushing, replacing the handwheel side of the crossfeed screw, and while I'm in there I'll also be replacing the thread. Due to Southbend using a proprietary bearing between the crossfeed screws' gear and the bushing, I've had to modify it to use a 1/2" shaft instead if a 5/8" shaft. Not a big deal though since the section the handwheel sits on is 7/16". Here's a bit of the progress so far and the plans I made up plus the first part of the video series. More to come.
