Bill, nothing too major to modify. The plate that slides into the "T" on the compound was too thick. My "T" groove measures approx. .310" thick and the mounting or thread plate that came with the Holdridge measured .360". I merely set it up in the mill and took .050" off and it slid right in. I then just had to put shorter socket head capscrews (1.25" long) and had to take .025-.030" off of them so they wouldn't make contact on the bottom of the compound. Once setup it seems quite rigid. Had a little issue with chatter and took some playing with to eliminate and then I have to play with it still to get a round ball, mine came out more oblong/football shaped.
