Saddle, HITorque 9x20 Bench Lathe

I had to replace the original saddle on my lathe, and this one slides onto the ways with noticeably less play. The part number matched up perfectly, so installation was straightforward.

The machined surfaces on this replacement saddle are clean and square, which made swapping out the old one on my 9x20 lathe straightforward. It fits the ways perfectly with no binding, so I'm back to turning.

I was a bit nervous about the fit, but the machined ways on this saddle matched up perfectly with the lathe's bed. Installation took just under an hour, and now my carriage glides much smoother than with the old worn-out part.
