@DaveH, thanks for the encouragement. @Ralph, yours looks nice! You know what, I just remembered, from looking at your pic, that I missed out the witness line across the top of the part... :doh: For the 1/4" slots, did you mill the slots at full depth in a single pass? I don't know if my Sherline mill can handle that and was thinking of using clamps when drilling the holes as stops so that I can mill them with multiple passes. If I've not appointments or meetings on Tuesday night, I'll start working on the Base. Wife will be away for meeting till late, so it will be just shop and me... :) Regards, Wong |

Wong: Interesting looking tool and very good photos of your progress. I've seen a simplified version of this in one of Guy Lautard's Bedside Reader books (#2) but have never given much thought to building one. I would appreciate knowing how well it works for you (and Ralph since his is complete). Thanks, John. |

Wong, There is a bit in this about milling a slot. It may you. http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=4678.msg51465#msg51465 :beer: DaveH |

Thanks DaveH. I had that PDF'd when I read it last year. I'll clamps to mark the limits of the slots and take the D/2 depth (0.125") as indicated in your article. One thing I realized when milling the slot in the slide. The 3/8" slot drill I used from Sherline actually cut 0.372" instead of 0.375". Don't think that will cause any problem with the 1/4" slots I'm going to mill in the Base. Regards Wong |
