    Yes, have a look at the taper turning attachment thread. I've offered the cross slide castings for sale. Also see the market place.

    Cheers
    Peter.

    SM1,

    Have you seen Paula's post on the Practical Machinist Southbend Forum, she is amazing with her skills. With a lady friend like that, you could dispense with all the mushy stuff!

    A bit of topic, but do you have castings for the Hercus milling attachment vice? I did ask in an earlier post, you may have missed it.

    Ken, I do have the vice castings. Two items, vice body and movable jaw. Are you interested?

    I've seen Paula's post on the slide. Just imagine the progress with two of you in the workshop. Google Cherry Hill and you'll find one of the best model engineers alive today.

    Cheers,
    Peter.

    Hi SM,

    Yep, I'm interested, what sort of dollars are we looking at? Do you also have machining drawings for all the components plus castings?

    Ken,
    I have the castings and drawings. I'm asking $40 for the set plus P&P. This design uses a keep plate under the movable jaw for added rigidity and needs a bit of care in machining to avoid the sloppy fit.
