The method of fixing the top slide to the T-slotted cross slide was, in effect, a beefed up version of that used on the 3.5 inch B Type lathe where the base of the top slide was made in two parts. The lower element was aligned with a long tennon key and formed a base on which the upper part could swivel.

The eight Tee slots along each edge of the cross slide together with one down the centre provided a multitude of mounting possibilities.
