I have a Grizzly G4000 lathe, a 9x20 and like to buy a stud so I can use my

make a stud myself, unless of course it is not that hard of a job. I tried
all the usual sites that come up when I Google for the info. I hope one of
you experienced lather users can help me with a place where I can just buy
one, and I can start learning to turn and do things.......PM

The "stud" is not the part you need, you need the "t nut" machined for
your cross slide. *I don't think you can buy this off the shelf, you
need to make this part to fit your lathe, drill it for the stud from
the A-size your purchase and tap it for that thread.

The Grizzly manual was too large to download with dialup so I looked
at HF's 9x20. The compound top doesn't have the usual tee slot,
instead there is an upright screw with its head pinned to prevent
rotation. I suppose you could remove the top slide and bolt the
toolpost and one holder in place, then modify a commercial bolt.
