1. The compound slide (bottom slide)the one which rotates, on my
ch250 is aluminum as is the cross slide ( the part which moves in
and out) on the saddle. The Homier counterparts are both steel.
Not steel, cast iron. Cast iron is Good for this application.
2.The height from the tool holder mounting surface to the spindle
center on the Homier lathe is 3/32" (as measured using a 6 inch
scale) less than the ch250 model. Can't swap tool holders without
readjusting!
How about making a 3/32" shim to put under the low toolholder?
Hope that helps,
