I run a solid tool post and it is a real pain to swap back to the compound. My lathe has 2 big T-slots on the cross slide. My idea is to mount the compound there on a platen that will bolt into the t slots. The cross slide is 6" wide and the compound is 5.5" in diameter. It's held on by two 10mm T bolts. I have a few ideas but would like some opinions on how to go about this. Also, what size and material would you use?
