Milling Attachment For My 7x12 Mini Lathe

[TTD]

I saved all the photos in case anyone wanted me to put them into an actual blueprint and all together in a pdf.
With the authors permission that is.

No problem at all, Bill....thank you very much for doing that!

Now that I've used it for awhile, one minor change I would make to original drawing is the location of the top two clamp nuts. Instead of making them 3" c-t-c between top/bottom clamp nut locations, I would place them @ 2.72" apart c-t-c (same as the width I needed for my particular vice). Then I could easily change vice position from vertical to horizontal depending on material size/operation needed without having to move top clamp nuts every time.

Don't know why I didn't think of that little detail right from start....

Is that an airgun breach you're machining in the first post (5th photo)?

Yes and no....yes it is an airgun breech, but no, I didn't machine that particular breech. Have done two since that pic was taken, but not the one in photo.

Had a buddy from an airgun forum I frequent make that one for me before I even had a lathe. Used his breech as a guide while making a radius cutter for my wee lathe to check for any clearance issues. Pic was just a mock-up of how my eventual "finished" setup would look & work.
