I have a spare BXA toolpost I would like to mount on my Harrison m300 lathe. Some folks make a fancy dovetail adapter so no holes are drilled in the cross slide. Is there any reason not to just drill a mounting hole and thread it into the cross slide. Of course watching out for oil passages, nuts and cross screw etc.
Would this be strong enough so the casting will not snap. This is a 13inch lathe with 3 horsepower so it has enough power to do some damage.
