Steve, that 'spacer' is actually part of the top half of the crossfeed casting. They really didn't use any extra parts. It seems to be one very solid machine.
As a collector of classic motorcycles, I have a strong aversion to modifying original equipment. If I wanted to make a QCTP, I think I would make a new top slide for the compound. It comes off quite easily, so changing back and forth would be a snap.
The carriage screws both have 3mm pitch. Lead screw, on the other hand, is 4 tpi.
