Take a piece of flat bar long enough to fix it and drill two hole in one end so you can bolt it onto the cross slide where the compound attaches, the tap two holes in the other end to bolt the ball turner too.

Exactly what I was suggesting as a fix, but better explained. I did add that one might have to remove a compensating amount of material off the thick base of the tool, equal to the thickness of the plate used.

Ok, this makes things look possible, for us
Now to find the plate ( of right length ) and work the Zen out for the project ahead
Or simply Drill the bloody Cross slide and get the show going >>>>
At least we now have some practical options
Thanks to all U good Guys
Much appreciate the concern
