Thanks fellas.

I did wonder if the gib should have dimples to keep it from moving, I could add some with a rotary tool I suppose. I'll need a shorter gib for the top slide.

Good to know it's so similar to a Myford, although as you say, their parts are pricey :D

I'll do some googling and see what I come up with.

If only I had a working lathe I could make my own parts....

Thanks again
