''by [http://vintagemachinery.org/members/detail.aspx?id=4047|Bill Nance]'' ==Introduction== This page shows the process and parts involved in assembling a compound slide rest for a Delta 12" wood lathe. The part numbers referenced in this page are taken from manual #PM-1533, dated 1/15/1948. Reprints can be found at: [http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/detail.aspx?id=497|Delta Compound Slide Rest Manual #PM-1533]. While one might expect the reassembly to start with the sub-base, that is actually the final step. Access is needed inside the base, so instead we start with the base and lower feed screw. [imageleft|Base, DDL-226-R|{UP}Deltacrossslide%2fDDL226R_base.jpg]{clear} The first step is to install the lower feed screw assembly within the base.

Square-head T-bolts are installed within slots in the lower slide, and then a steel pin, DDL-248, is installed through the lower slide into the indexed lower cylinder on the saddle. The lower slide gib, DDL-251, needs to be installed and adjusted along the dovetailed way.

The Upper Slide Gib, DDL-252, needs to be installed and adjusted along the dovetailed way. [imageleft|Top slide to be installed w/ gib on dovetailed way|{UP}Deltacrossslide%2fDDL229_upperslide.jpg]{clear} The last assembly step is to install the Sub Base on the bottom of the entire assembly.
