Model/dimensions of mini-lathe headstock - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net!

I'm designing a CNC benchtop lathe (based on S J H's build), and I'm planning to use a mini lathe headstock. I'd like to have a full design before buying anything, so:

Does anyone have a solid model of the headstock? Or, just the basic dimensions: L x W x H, spindle location relative to headstock, mounting pattern.

Thanks.

IIRC I don't think he used a mini-lathe headstock, but rather the mini-mill head casting with the mini-lathe spindle:

Spindle:

or is it

The mini-lathe casting seems to be identically sized (I have both) but has different bolt holes and a V-shaped grove in its base to allow it to sit on the dovetails.

any progress on this? I love that build. I'm thinking of building a lathe as a first cnc project
