Metal Lathe Mod For Precision Cutting/Turning

A simple modification to the mini lathe to allow accurate cutting when the carriage thimble is not precise enough. I use this in combination with the lathe curve tool in the Machinery Calculator where very accurate cuts are required. Visit www.mysmart-tools.com for more info on the Machinery Calculator.

Nice idea. It might help to remove the paint where the DTI touches.
