I’ve recently acquired a Golfsmith Professional Loft/Lie machine. Problem is I have no idea how to use it.

The large brass "nut" is a toe stop, you should be able to unbolt it and secure it to the other side of the machine. this will enable you to adjust left hand irons.

I’ll try again when I get home tonight with just moving the toe stop to the other side. When I tried before I couldn’t get a LH club to sit properly as the dual horizontal bars were interfering with the placement. But I didn’t try too long and instead began investigating a potential move of the base.

You may have to move the measuring attachment as well as the toe stop. Sounds like you are close to figuring it out.
