Carriage Apron, 9x20 Bench Lathe

The mounting holes lined up perfectly with my 7600, so installation took maybe ten minutes. It feels more solid than the original guard, which gives me more confidence when parting.

Bolted this on as a direct replacement for the Sieg 7600 and the alignment was spot-on, zero fiddling with the mounting holes. The castings feel solid and the gear engagement is smooth when engaging the feed. It’s been a week of heavy turning and everything still feels tight.

Wasn't sure this would fit my old 9x20 but the mounting pattern matched up fine. The apron itself feels solid and the gears mesh smoothly with no slop in the handwheel.
