I'm pretty thrilled to be the new owner of a 16" X 6' turret lathe (SB) but I am a bit puzzled about the lack of a compound rest. The cross slide & tool posts are quite stout and will undoubtedly withstand heavy loads if need be, but without a compound rest how does one cut a 45 degree bevel or cut threads without the ability to feed the cutter in at a 60 degree angle? I must be missing something.
