The only thing about the milling attachment is they don't go very cheap. I got lucky and got one from ulmadoc for a great price. Pretty much gave it away. He was feeling generous and (I guess) wanted to "pay it forward". I am eternally grateful as I've gotten a lot of use out of it. It's by no means perfect and I don't think you could do high precision work with it, but does a good enough job for what I need it for (motorcycle parts).Great White many thanks for the reply and the links ...I've just spent three video clips worth of my life looking at them.
It is an interesting and useful tool to aim for.
I note that Tubal found slight variations on the alignment graduations protractor .
On my lathe I've discovered the same on the compound slides protractor . It's just under the thickness of the 90 degree graduation line. .
EBay usually wants a fair bit for them. Usually in the 300-500 dollar range.
Shop wisely and look often and I'd say you might be able to snag one for couple hundred or so.
Cheers
