What's that thing sitting on the lathe ways in the second picture?

Ed, that is the extension shaft that came with my Z power feed unit. But it was made to fit a full sized Bridgeport which has a larger diameter shaft on the feed screw than my clone has.

Because of that it flexed on my lead screw and was the reason I made the sleeve to go into it. I pushed the sleeve into the extension shaft with some Loctite 609 sleeve retainer compound, and when it had cured I finished bored the sleeve ID on the lathe.
