Probably a hundred ways to approach it! I had two fixed bearings, the
third swung on a short arm which was clamped in place with a KantTwist
clamp. Crude, but it worked fine. The cross slide was used to center
everything on the stock. The cutting tool sat in a square hole and was
backed up by a 40 pitch screw allowing fine adjustment of the final
diameter.
Of course, for a CNC app, the supports must be independant of the tool!
