Cut the "T" slot in the cross slide last night. Also pulled the back of the lathe apart.

RadRod67:
Rob once again your work is exemplary and inspirational thank you for sharing. Outlawspeeder have you done any drawings for your attachment? I think your Grizzly is closer in design to my C06230A/914 than Robs

outlawspeeder:
I had only crayons and a napkin when I started. Hahaha I’ll see if I can get something on paper or in electrons.

I have what I call the “Hard parts” done now. I have the 4 foot by 3”X1/2” drilled and counter sank two days ago. It is ready to be mounted to the Lathe. The plan is to lay #1 bolt in the gap between the head and the bed. I have a removable bed part that sounded great when I ordered the lathe. Now after reading other posts, I am afraid to remove or drill it. The 4 foot will run the full back side of the lathe with stand offs to turn it into a mono rail the attachment will ride on. I am thinking rollers??? I have aim the rest of the mounts to align with the webs of the lathe bed.

After the mono rail is mounted, it is down to building the moving table the taper will ride on. Rollers when not I use, clamps when in use. The first thought was a set of bolt hole in the rail and move the attachment to matching holes. With clamps it can go anywhere. It will need something to keep the mono rail clean as it is rolling.

I plan on doing more this weekend but with a test on Monday and the weather is looking like I can brake out the motor bike... so many toys….

I have my thoughts on how this can be done but looking to see if there is a way I have not thought of. I have even include a spacer between the Slider guide and the mounting table on one of my thoughts??? :worthless:???

Hi Outlaw , good to see your still cracking on with the project :thumbup:

Would you like me to take a few more/better photos of the TTA set up ?

Rob

outlawspeeder:
PLEASE I am flying in the dark as I have never used or touch one of the taper setups. I feel like a Male gynecologist looking up a skirt for the first time. :bugeye: I know how it supposed to work, just not sure…. HAHAHAHA

Does the pivot point really need to be bolted or will the screws on each end be enough to stop it from lifting.
