I have a PM-1030V and find that the topslide location (about a quarter along the cross slide from the front) to be limiting the configuration options of the cutting tool. The thing that is constraining the topslide location is a hole in the cross slide. I am a novice with respect to what can be done with the lathe. I have two questions. First, am I missing something here? Second, Any reason I shouldn't drill a similar hole to locate the topslide at the back quarter of the cross slide?
