Benchmaster Horizontal as a lathe

[Shawn]

I like the idea of placing a mark on the column, that would be fast and simple. Will do that for sure. Since I'm using a small Chuck and have lots of room vertically I may even try multiple tool positions and heights. The tailstock will definitely hang from the overarm if I ever get around to building it.

Pete, the tutorials on YouTube about Fusion 360 are about the best tutorials I have seen. I was like a dog watching tv when I first started as well. It was years since I had tried any type of CAD program but once you get started you will figure it out quickly. if I can help out in any way let me know.
