I think he just mounted a turning Chuck to the table, Not the entire lathe

Hi Mark
Have you tried using the Mills Y axis for moving the Cutter instead of the Z axis?

Hi Willy,
Using the stock Taig parts set up as they are the Y axis can only
center the cutting tool.
I don't think there would be any benefit to setting it up to use the Y axis.
If your seeing something that I'm missing please let me know.
Mark
