Hi Gene here is a photo from my Hobbymat manual, it shows the set up using the angle plate to convert the lathe into a useful milling machine. The top slide is taken off and replaced by the angle plate. Remove the tool post and bolt the vice to the top slide. The top slide and vice is then bolted to the angle plate. All the holes will line up for easy fitment.
