    No problem Bob, I have always planned to have mine lever operated instead of the detent.
    Here are a couple of others that I have found over the years

    Default turrent attachement

    i bought a Turret attachment for my Hercus 260 approx 12 months ago, however when placing it on the machine the holes in the " rotating head " don't line up with the axis of the lathe , ( they are below centre ) just wondered how other people got on when they fitted theres as they come seperate to the machine when purchased

    SFH,

    My 9" turret was higher than the spindle axis. I removed some of the base of the turret to lower it. You may be able to pack yours up with a shim.

    I had other alignment issues - https://www.woodworkforums.com/f65/tu...oubles-137714/
