Metal lathe cross slide lock

[xynudu]

The carriage lock came with the lathe.

It's a metal block that pulls up against the underside of the ways - most recent Asian lathes have one fitted.

I added a hex bolt head, as the original Allen bolt head used to fill up with cuttings.

I also fitted a heavier bolt as the original was a bit wimpy and snapped early on in it's life.
