yes I spread the bolts appart on the cross slide round thingy as far as posiable.so it dont deflect real bad.I need to do a little more to it, but it works much better now. I put the quick change tool holder on it that I had on my mini, it was too big but worked great on the mini, I had to do some work to it for this lathe. it's acctuly to big for this too....if I ever raise the head stock&tail stock a inch or so it will be perfect... I think I put a thrust washer on each side of the worm gear too. the threading lever linkage is trickey to get just right.
