Spent some time and made these minor improvements in this last blast of christmas weather. A grease nipple and a tailstock lock arm, the nipple is fairly basic but the tailstock "lock bar" was salvaged material whos purpose has been lost to time. It needed the hoke enlarged and taped to m10-1.5 add a couple washers to adjust pre tension and i dont have to fumble with my wrench anymore. I placed a picture or two of how i use my mill (over built drill press) to center and start my taps, a wrench and some manual down feed, then use the tap bar, easy pie!
