    Model/dimensions of mini-lathe headstock

    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.
