Got the tail stock supported.
The shiny steel plate you see I found at work on the ground.
It didn't look anything like this before I put it in the lathe and faced it off on both sides.
Did this some time ago and had no idea what I was going to do with them.
T Nuts made from 5/8ths grade 5 bolts faced off on the end to thickness,center drilled, cut to length drilled and tapped.
will show later.
This is how I managed to get the tail stock to fit the table.
Pictures next post.
