Ahem!:rolleyes:

The tailstock is reversed.

The groove for the table mount and knob face the outside. That means the table is also reversed on the mount. . . . And the 2MT socket.

Still very nice. Slick wheels! Good looking 2x6s.





How come ya need a helper?????:D

I do hope you have a tube rest.;)

Oops

Yeah just have my head other places.
wife has been very sick.
get to that later,
Checked the table, that is the side the holes are for mounting the metal bar slot for the guide, no holes if I reverse it?

Greg, unbolt the extension table from the cast iron mounting leg. Bolt it back on, backwards, but don't tighten down the bolts.

Now, remove the tailstock, and install it so the groove that the mounting leg mounts on, is on the far right (outside) of the machine. Slide the main table and carriage, down so they line up with the ext table. Make sure the 2 tables line up, and tighten those bolts.
