My understanding is that the Gordon Scott mod moves the effective range of the leadscrew towards the operator (so you can cut wider material since you've moved the cut position relative to spindle).? However you're not gaining any additional travel.
has a so the effective range is increased plus moved towards the operator.
The Gadget Builder version appears to remedy try to increase the travel by adding an extension to the front of the shaft (which I presume is shown exposed out of the spacer in this image):??
This idea of a shaft extension is poo-poo'd on the?madmodder.page,? they seem to recommend a longer screw instead such as the above LMS.
I'm not understanding the "If I were doing this modification again then I would not mill out the carriage slot. Instead I would simply move the leadscrew nut? 25 mm further back on the cross slide. This would achieve the same result as extending the slot" comment on the?mikesworkshop page.
