Compound Mods & protractorization

[bruce.desertrat]

Great vid, and smart idea for fixing (for me) the #1-with-a-bullet annoyance of the mini-lathe. As always I'm am in awe of your freehand engraving skills.

I do wonder, though, if the first method would work better if softer brass screws were used? no notches in the steel.

Just wondering, given the wrong turns, how many times do you need to flip a USB cable to get it to fit? I myself generally need 3 or 4...
