I would like to do some light metal work on my Jet JWL-1236 lathe. I can do graphite (messy) with the wood tools, but would like to do some small aluminum pieces which means I need a tool holder. I tried making a tool holder from a cross slide vice, but it had too much backlash to be useful.
Can anyone suggest a cross slide with about 2" of travel in both axial and transverse directions? Ideally it would also have the ability to rotate about the vertical axis for angled cuts, but I can find a way to make that part of the mount to the lathe bed.
