Default Cut slot car comm on a Hudy Tech lathe?

Can I cut a slot car comm on a hudy tech lathe? I have the Tech model with v blocks. If not, what would I need to cut them?

I had to move one of the blocks to make the slot car arm fit. Granted this was not Hudy version. Once the blocks are located you should have no problem with the slot car arms.

Thanks for the replies! The v blocks are adjustable so should not be any problems then.

Just make sure that your cutter is located properly to the cutting surface. In case the arm drops below or above the com centerline.

Yeah, good point. The smaller diameter shaft is going to sit lower so he will probably need to lower the cutter as well.
