New to me Craftsman Commercial 12x36

LOL
Well I got the End Mills and Reamers out of the Evapo-Rust after an over night soak and they are back to looking brand new.

I was having a difficult time finding some layout dye this weekend. I was in Wally World and happened to be in Automotive looking for some Loctitie and came across some stuff called Glass Chalk. It has a spongy applicator and I figured if it worked on glass it should work on Metal. $4.00
I tried it tonight and it worked great. Scribed lines to follow while cutting and could see lines with no problem. Spray some Green Clean on it and it comes right off.
So in a pinch, you can pick it up at Wally World until you get some Dykem.

Thought I'd show what I've been working on in the shop.
Halfway done with the Taper attachment. Made it out of 1/2" and 3/8" Aluminum.
All that's left is to mill a slot the length of the bar that attaches to the Compound and make a riser for the main bar to follow.
I'm also going to have to move the pole for the switch somewhere else now.

Finally got the Taper Attachment done.
Patterned it after the one Tubalcain made for his Craftsman.
