When snugged up mine is more like the last photo, sort of between it + the 2nd last. It does not dissengfage very far so I think the fix will be to face a bit off the internal plungers 10 or 20 thou should bring it around more to suit mr. What do you think??? tom
One of the dovetails should face thwe headstock the other should be away from the operator or towards the rear of the lathe, the gandle should be out towards the operator somewhat, maybe a bit toward the tailstock.
