 yes and no.... but (got this from pbadad)...i use round allen key adjustable collars on the 2 mounting stems (that slide in and out of mounts connected to lathe) which keeps the height set so i dont have to readjust it every time, slip it on and off, works like a charm! another option for you....sounds like jigmans set-up, here's some pix of mine
