I've just got a "new to me" Harrison M540 lathe (21x80).
It has a 4-way tool post, but I've become rather fond of the Aloris style.
I can't for the life of me figure out how to remove the existing tool post.
The top handle will lock tool post in one direction, and index the tool post in the other.
I don't see any screws or bolts on the slide.
Does anyone know how to remove it please ?

Did you take the cap off the top?
Probably a big nut under there.
