Step 1.:
-1 Jig
Align an angle plate at 90_ to front of lathe carriage
(bored to match Backplate)
and clamp to the carriage. Clamp the jig to the angle plate
so the bored hole is precisely on lathe center line height.

Position jig face 0.100 behind axis and lock the carriage.

Step 2:
Remove the Backplate and unclamp the jig from the
angle plate, leaving the angle plate clamped to the carriage.
Flip and rotate the jig to the other (short) face and remount.
