Atlas 6" lathe slotter attachment

[gartman machine]

A friend wanted me to make him a slotting attachment for his Atlas 6" lathe. I rounded up some surplus parts and materials and came up with this gadget. Any comments will be welcome. Thanks y'all and have a great day!!

well that is interesting
Now I know what that extra 2" boring head is for,.
Does that hex shaft drive a rack and pinion ?
I would like to see how it is used

It has a rack and pinion drive and the pinion has a hex end for using a combination wrench as a handle. The photos show the one I use on my Atlas 12" lathe that I used to cut a splined hub. Thanks and have a great day!!View attachment 51094
