Just wondering .....

If you buy that cam lock kit from LMS, you have to drill one 1/2" hole in the far side of the tail stock assembly.

Does drilling that hole present any problems ?

How critical is placement of that hole ?

Has anyone here performed this operation ?

I have one of those small metal lathes and I did buy the cam lock kit several years ago, but I have never attempted to install it because I have been worried about drilling the hole ... clamping the tail stock assembly on the drill press table securely could be problematic without the proper clamps.

Would appreciate any comments.
