    You have modelled a compound. You don't need one and it would reduce rigidty.

    The compound exists on manual lathes to allow angles / tapers.

    Thanks . Yes I was hoping to keep the compound as I would like to be able to turn tapers. This is a manual lathe.
    What do you think of using linear bearings (20 and 25mm) in this application, as opposed to dovetail slides?
