Bill that really looks sharp. I like the simplicity and the incorporation of laser possibility. A nice chance to upgrade if you wanted too.

Kevin, I imagine the height is just for versatility to work with anyone's lathe or something along those lines. If it is a production piece, you'd want it to accomodate as many people as possible unles you were going to custom make them or have several lines. (answered while I typed)

Thinking about versatility, do you have plans for the base to have the ability to mate to different lathes' ways?

I agree with Kevin that a way to make the base attach without removing the tailstock would be a nice convenience factor also. (also answered while I typed)

The only thing I could see that could be improved is some way to fold it down for storage. That is the one thing I hate about my homemade one is in a small shop it is an odd shape for storage.
I suspect the added manufactureing cost for this might make it not worth it, but just a thought.

Great idea Bill. Looks mighty fine to me.

Bill; thanks for the answer, you're right it would be better to view from the top. I like it, let me know when you have them on the market.

Hey, what about a magnet on the base to make sure it stays flat.

Thanks
