Very nice work Bob, I have a set of excellent plans for a QCTP that I bought on the Internet, I am not at home so can not send you the link but steve also has a copy perhaps he can send you the link. You would be able to do a great job on it, the plans are only $15.00 and if you like them and can not afford them I will pay for them if only you do posting on the build as it would help me in my build. tom

Does anyone have another link to Chatham Tool ? This is the link above and I don't think it is correct.

hi just thought of something the problem with the new set up is when you undo the 4 fixing points to move the compound slide the hole lot moves to fix this problem put two lengths of plate in between the fixing bolts that are a snug fit in to the channels on the Cross slide and fix them to the clamping plate problem solved
