Hi Guys, I thought that you might like to see mine. I built it to put keyways into bronze gear bores. It is built to fit directly onto the Myford QCTP. |

Neat project - I will be watching. If you could reduce the distance from the mounting point of the toolpost (the bolt through the centre) to the sloter ram, it would reduce the amount of torque when using the slotter. Not sure if that's needed but just my $.01. John. |

Thanks for the interest. :clap: Baron - could I ask what the total ram travel is, distance between the centres of pivot and the handle, and length of handle. Is the ratio about right for the amount of effort needed? Pete/Dave, I cannot fit the pin as it would go through the slot corner. However the top-slide itself is 76.18mm wide, so would be a simple matter to add a restraining bar on one, or both sides of the actual toolholder, to prevent it from pivoting...... should it be necessary. The ram will have to go on the inside slot of the toolholder, as the cross-slide runs out of travel before the ram would get anywhere near centre if it was on the outside. I was hoping it would fit the other way round. :scratch: Pete |

Pete, Yes, some kind of retaining bar/block should do the trick. Baron, I like it. Must add that to my to-make list. Dave. |
