A very handy mod. Brings it up to the standard of my ML7.

Adding a vertical slide opens up all sorts of new possibilities too.

Could you have carried out the operation on the Stepperhead?

From the video it looks as though you have made a new cross slide for the Chipmaster?

Hi Hopper and vga,

Yes I do have a vertical slide for this cross slide. I could have carried out this operation on my Stepperhead lathe but the Chipmaster is a much bigger and more rigid lathe and even on this I could only make about .020" cuts without chattering etc. I modified the original cross sliide by adding 0.500" steel strips bolted from underside.

Thanks for explaining.

That vee on the vertical slide table looks very handy.

Nice. I like that V slot too. Handy for diameters too small to rest on the T slot.

I find the Myford swivelling vertical slide annoyingly flexible , which does limit depth of cut. But the fixed vertical slide is a much more rigid beast and much to be preferred for most jobs.
