Midas1220xl carriage stop

might be my approach. The mill has been nothing but problems for me.
Have to agree. Hard to hold tolerances with mine as the quill seems to wander. Have to take very small cuts and watch the quill. I’ve been pondering a way to make a 2nd quill lock in addition to the factory one ( which doesn’t hold).

The only workable idea I’ve come up with so far, is a ring under the headstock that Locke the quill an prevents it from walking back up.
