Hello Machinist community.

Currently in the process of building a machine that contains a cross-slide (185x100, small thing). Thing is, it doesn't have dovetail grooves, but something that looks more like T-nut grooves in M8 / M10.

All toolposts I've seen so far (like Multifix) use the central toolpost stud which wouldn't fit on the type of cast cross slide of this size that I have in mind.

Issue here is is that I have experience working with lathes, just not with building them.

Are there toolposts / quick swap toolposts that simply use M8 / M10 bolts and T-nuts to attach to a cross slide?

Seems so wild to me, webshops that dropship / resell SKMEI and other watches with an engraved back showing "their" brand/logo.

92?? Dang, I picked up the black version for about 18 last year...

Hello greatest community on Reddit!

Thank you for all your interest in the viewfinders, handgrips, and cage + viewfinder combo's. Sorry to say that I have ran out of waist level viewfinders (I even shipped out 'my own' for the last order as I miscalculated haha!).

For the near future, I will have to see how I continue this. I recently looked up my lens supplier, and to my shock the prices have nearly quadrupled. This along with the ongoing tariffs and the absurdly high shipping prices to North America, I need to find a way to keep it somewhat fun for everyone. And higher prices are never fun.

I will be back. In the meantime, enjoy my top pics with the 101, 105 (when it still lived) and Pro.

Love you all.
