olderdan,

Another option for those who do not have a suitable cross slide for a rear parting tool would be to make a new cross slide. A few years ago I re-purposed a production cross slide for an 11" Logan lathe.

Nice modification, I happen to have done a similar thing using a Myford super 7 slide on my SB.

Not a quick job but well worth it especially if you mill in the lathe, more on my builders page.
I have done so many mods to this lathe over the years I now think I should have put them in one place.

olderdan,

I agree it is not a quick job but it will pay dividends.
