That slotting attachment is amazing Rob, I would love to try my hand at aluminum casting one day. Here is the slotting attachment I started last Spring, once fire season is over I will finish it. Was planning to add a 4 position stop. It mounts on my SB9" along with my rotary table.

Sure do  Big Grin


Hi Shawn , 

Thats a very nice looking slotter , the parts are well finished .  

You say your planning on making a four position stop for it .  I would not bother mate , make a four position carriage stop instead (something that I need to do )  ,then the stop can be used for other jobs . 

 are you using your RT on the lathe ? 


Cheers Lads , Rob

Thanks Rob, I am planning to use the slotter on my lathe in conjunction with the rotary table. I'm planning to make a bracket to mount the table on the bed ways. I could have made an indexing attachment for the lathe (I want to be able to cut division marks onto dials as well as slot) but figured I already had the rotary table.

Cheers

Hi Shawn , 

Why not make an indexing attachment  Big Grin ,,,,,,,,,,, I have nearly two for my Myford lathe , 

A direct indexing attachment the uses the 60 T back gear bull wheel , this dose about 80 percent of what I need .

The other unfinished project uses the bull gear in a worm and wheel arrangement .

Which reminds me looking at above I used a spring tool /swan neck to do the screw cutting and worm on the spindle . Easy to make in an hour or so of work and uses old /bust centre drills re sharpened for cutters .

I made this vise work stop some time ago. I still need to make larger thumbs screws so it's easier to tighten the clamps. The bolts are 1/2-13 to fit my Kurt vise and they're tapped M8 which my small import vise uses for attaching the work stop.

The square mounting bar is so the tool can be mounted in the shaper tool holder , very handy  .

NEXT ! ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, My hydraulic gear  Big Grin  all built from scrap that I had salvaged , 30 ton press ,,,,,,,but I operate it a 20 as there is a wee bit flex in the tool table , I ran out of the heavier channel .one day I will get round to beefing it up .

Being a lazy git I cant be doing with this hand pumping LOL , so I knocked up a hydraulic power pack , the motor /pump unit is from a railway crossing barrier I scrounged from the 
lads working on the level crossings in the village , they were fitting new barriers. Welded up a tank , valve block is from a FLT .
