Riser block

[pmhayden]

I have a HF/CM 3 in 1. The mill is so far above the slide that it is useless without a riser for the vice or tool holders. Worse, I may need 2 or 3 risers of different heights. I am trying to find a couple 6 x 12 x 3 inch (and x 5 or x 6) blocks for specific vices. I can drill holes where I need them for the bolts. One option is to have blocks welded up and planed. But has anyone found a pre-made generic piece than can be repurposed?

Smithy makes one. I have had a use for one myself, but its just not in the budget right now.

Wow. That's perfect. Not in my budget at the moment yet, either. But worth saving for.

Bolton hardware has another one here

I bought a pair of 2 x 4 X 6 blocks that work pretty well for me.
