Here is the rough location of the plinth. Marked the cross-slide in red. Top left corner.
Here is the plinth body (unmachined and too tall) and a rough idea of the locating feature. I suppose I could put something in back, but it is probably not necessary. Ignore the scrap I used to hold up the locating block. Couldn't find a prettier spacer

Can you explain that? I mean, the cross-slide will be off the lathe and on on the mill, so more holes would be easy. Yeah, it will take me some time to make a drawing, but that's easy. Do you have a thread on the compound clamp?If you are drilling and tapping a hole for a rear mount, you should consider going whole hog and making a complete set of mounting holes for the compound. I did that for my 602 when I made the improved compound clamp.
