    The sled for the cross slide of my DIY mini lathe

    Hello everybody, today I have an other video about my DIY mini lathe, this time is the sled for the cross slide, you know, the thing that moves back and forward in the crossslide along the X axis. I haven't commented much on this video making it more "musical" I've used the same technique applied for other parts of this lathe where I didn't welded the elements, rather I put them together using glue, pins and screws to avoid deformations and achieve higher quality and precision. This time I used cyanoacrylic glue (similar to superglue) in place of epoxy, because pins and screws are enough to keep the parts in place and the elements are attached together quicker.
    Hope you'll enjoy. Cheers.
