On the basis that no question is too stupid, on both the DTI’s I own, the bodies have slotted dovetails, presumably for mounting in an appropriate dovetailed fitting but I can’t find any information on the fittings or how they’re mount onto a lathe/mill. Fortunately both come with a little black arm I can fit into the toolpost of the lathe and there’s a stem at the top which I can mount in the chuck/collet of the milling machine but I was curious to the use of the dovetail and if it’s worth investing in the extras?

Hi Chris,

I assume your DTI’s are Verdict, if so go to the following link which will show you a page from their catalogue.

A little “Attatchment” for you to make and worth the effort

Use HE30 or 6082 for the material

Regards Ian

THIS link works Chris.

Oh yes, if you machine it correctly, you don’t need the 1.3″ long slot in the bottom left hand view.

Thanks guys. Yes, they are Verdict DTI’s so both links are quite relevant. If you copy and paste that first link, it works fine. Thanks again.
