Hi Mike, yes I have the vertical head, the one with the fixed spindle. I have thus far only used it to cut a couple of keyways and only with the vertical head, as I haven't yet acquired all the components to set it up in horizontal mode. There were a few arbor spacers amongst this lot of cutters, but I still need more, and I don't have the bushings that run in the arbor supports. I'm also going to have to make a driveshaft for the power feed. All good fun of course. I've been contemplating the possibility of making a slotting head for it as well- don't hold your breath waiting to see that though.
