Found it - I know of their site I just couldn't find it on their site. $29, not bad.

Thanks - no mill yet. I have one at work but as an IT guy I try not to bother the machine guy (much) lol

Do you have a link to the one on LMS? I couldn't find it!

Thanks!

No problem!

This is where that file should be: http://www.hobby-machinist.com/downloads.php?do=cat&id=24 but I don't see it there. :thinking:

Bill obviously knows though. :whistle:

What Mike told you is that link is where he thought it should be, it is not there it is here. You were unjinxed in post #11. Guess you missed that one. :lmao:

Consider it done, just steer clear of black cats for a week to be absolutely safe!

That's OK Mike, we all get goofed up once in a while. Glad I could help.

Wait a minute, I thought I made a mistake once Bill, turned out I was wrong!

NXR --- That statement sounds vaguely familiar. Let me guess, you were an engineer in your other life?

Hey guys - maybe I am doing this wrong. I am new to machining. I am using a center drill on the tailstock and as I tighten the 17mm nut to hold the tailstock to the ways, I see it kind of jack up on the angled edge (closest to operator) way side and the center drill shift from center. Is there an orientation on the underside bracket that I have backwards or something?

Thanks,
Jon

Yep, I found the same thing!! Had to align the little plate that secures the Tailstock to the Ways in the proper orientation for it to fit properly!!
