Lathe Gib lock on the cross slide covered by DRO scale
Lathe Gib lock on the cross slide
My lathe DRO scale covers the cross slide gib lock screw. There are times I want to lock the cross slide. I thought maybe place some grub screws on the opposite side made out of brass or something which will not damage the cross slide v.
On my previous lathe the saddle lock bolt was removed by the manufacturer to allow the fitting of the DRO scale. Not good.
Here are some pictures.
Is the idea of adding soft grub screws reasonable? Is there another method to lock the cross slide?
Sincerely,
Tom
