This might be a stupid question – but, has anybody come across any cross slides (like they have for metal lathes) for a wood lathe? My goal is not to cut metal with my wood lathe – but rather, I really like the precision that can be achieved. From perfectly straight/even surface cuts, to 90 degree endgrain cuts – it would make turning precise tenons for kitless pens a whole lot faster and easier.
I found this guy: https://www.cuesmith.com/crossfeed-for-wood-lathe/
But, just wondering if there are any other options from maybe some more reputable sources.
Also curious if anybody has any experience with one, and can tell me the pros & cons.
