Fairly common in older times when it was more commonplace to mount stuff on lathe carriage like boring a big cylinder with a boring bar between centers. Tee slots for securing such work were essential.John, thanks for the link. That is both resourceful and clever. I can imagine somewhere in the distant past that a set up like that one being the first follow-rest. Did you ever use the tee slots again? I don’t recall seeing that before. Do you know of any other machines that had this feature?
Old stuff - even oldie South Bends had some semblance of carriage tee slots
