I am in need of a compound rest base for my 6561h lathe. It appears that someone got the compound slide into the chuck and broke the slots that the T bolts run in. It will lock down and work but when I move the angle of the compound slide to 30 deg. for threading it comes off the base. Any help would be appreciated.

They broke it off in several places and on the 6561h the base is one piece that has the slot machined into it . The base is broken where the compound lock bolts fit into the base. The flange on the base that the bolt locks into is gone from 50 deg. to 0 deg. The compound will still lock in place from 60 to 90. I think I can fix it with some wok and imagination, but it would be better if I could just replace it.
November I have not tried logan do you have contact info

I picked up a 14" Logan that had been fixed at one time where the t slot was damaged. I also have one with the same problem. Here are some pics of the two.
The repaired cross slide performed well and had no noticeable issues.
