I created a space for a brass gib, just rectangular, not angled, and it made the task much easier.

Well that's just typical! I never thought of that. Instead I fixated on cleaning up the block itself, decided it wasn't worth the effort, and put up with it. And now I know there's a better way, the lathe is long gone. Ho hum…
