In an effort to clarify how my power feed is being attached to the mill, I made up the sketch below. I've also attached a couple of pictures showing the basic method I'm copying. That's how Henry installed his power feed on his RF-45 clone mill some time ago and it has worked out well for him.
In an effort to supply more support to the lead screw to prevent flexing at the junction of the adapter and the lead screw, which Willie experienced, I've drawn in a bronze bushing to support the end of the adapter where the lead screw engages.
