You have made a major improvement to your mini lathe. Well done! I have done the same to mine a few years back and am glad I did.
Well done and enjoyed your video and appreciate the time you took to make it. There is a lot to think about in 3 axis when doing this. Looking forward to your carriage work and way scraping!
Thanks!
