I am going to modify the compound pivot of my Micro Mark 7 x 16 mini lathe. The method I am going to use is like the pivot on the South Bend and the Logan lathe. I am tired of cranking the compound back to release the lock screws and its associated issues.
I know exactly how to go about it.
Has anyone had gone beyond that to include an engraved degree scale around the bottom of the compound base (maybe 180 degrees) similar to a Logan? This could be done by machining a 180 degree radius portion to the bottom front of the compound base and engraving a degree scale on it.
I do intend to place the round pivot member closer to the front end of the base.
