Sherline, compound slide, riser block, lathe Now it is possible to use your compound slide with the riser blocks in place on your lathe. In normal use, the Sherline compound slide is attached to the crosslide table on the "back" side of the the part and the tool is placed in the holder "upside down" with the cutting edge facing downward.. With the riser block in place, there is now enough clearance for the compound to clear the handwheel, so the compound/riser block combination is used on the "front" side with the tool facing upward.
