Slotting Attachment for a Vertical Mill/Drill

[Maryak]

Bob,

Thanks for your comments, especially the one about hammer forces on the spindle bearings - Hadn't thought of that :

Regards

Bob...
I was referring to the ability to swivel the main BP head to the rear....tough to do on a square column...(grin) I can see uses for the tool and a side mount on the head would work. I'd have to come up with a quick change idea of some sort, since there would probably be a high speed spindle fitted there first. So many tool ideas... so little time....eh?

Since we're talking about building machine equipment, why not mount a ram from a table top shaper, such a Gingery has in his book. Then the stroke length would be ajustable.

I'm pretty sure somebody (Bradley? Mason?) designed one to fit the Myford lathe - should be able to modify that if you can find the details of it

its in the ian bradley serious seven manual page 167 i don't know how to get from the book into photo bucket but its in that book

I saw a plan in Engineering In Miniature, I think it was the begining of summer. It ran over 2 months and I bought them both because of that article. When I get home sometime next week, I will look for them. It is a nice compact unit that fits on a small mill.
