Oh Tom,
I am in physical pain at the thought of all those wasted slotting heads.

I keep my old Denbigh Mill just for it's slotting head these days, they can be used for so much more than key ways;
* Internal splines,
* External splines,
* Gear cutting,
* Dove tails,
* Squaring out holes,
* Cutting racks,
* Even as a makeshift "die filer"
Grinding a single point tool for forming special shapes is way easier than finding or making the same "form" milling cutter.

One day I'll sell the Denbigh and finance a Bridgeport style slotting head for the "Gate" mill and then I can save some floor space.

Regards Rick
