Screw-feed compound slide rest with, for the era, reasonably large 13/8" diameter zeroing-micrometer dials - and a very clearly engraved circular scale with which to set the top-slide at up to 60 degrees each side of centre. The cross-slide end plate (which carried the boss to support the micrometer dial)  was held on by 4 screws - a minor point, but one which demonstrates the care which Potter put into the design of their lathes.

Part of the production equipment available for the Potter was this lever-action, double-toolpost, cut-off or "forming" slide. Robust front and back stops with fine-screw adjusters were fitted, the toolposts could be located at any position along their mounting slot and the operating handle adjusted to any convenient height.

A popular accessory on quality lathes of all types, the lever action tailstock provided a sensitivity of feel - especially when using very small drills - far superior to that given by an ordinary screw feed. A screw adjuster provided a means of limiting the movement of the hollow barrel.

Once a very popular accessory, the indexing tailstock capstan unit still finds a place today in the workshop of the model and experimental engineer who needs to make quantities of identical small parts.
For the manufacture of more complex or larger parts a bed-mounted capstan unit was available.
