Chris' Tips
J. W. Early suggests that you machine 0.25" off the bottom of this part. He also suggests that you move the toolpost pivot point. This allows you to use several different adjustable tool posts more effectively. Click here to see a sketch of it.
For a compound with the pivot point already moved, see our modified compound rest bottom.
