Or, rather, where? Do they still make 'em? Probably ridiculous to make oneself? [ You are not allowed to view attachments ] |

Mike I found one in a second-hand tool dealer just north of Paris, un-scraped! extremely cheap! How about a piece of darabar? Not ridiculous at all to make one if you have a mill. When I bought mine, I thought about milling a 45° on one corner, I didn't need to as the dovetails that I will be using it on are 60°. Cheers, Matthew |
| Mike K:
Thanks Matthew. Unfortunately, my only milling machine is the mini mill. I plan to use it to true up my mini lathe. -Mike |

I tried to make one of those by milling 3 sides of a round cast iron bar. It bent like a banana. I would look to getting one cast. It's not a difficult shape for casting. |
| Mike K:
And then scrape it in, using my 12"x18" surface plate for reference? |
