I would think it would be a whole lot better with a morse taper and draw bolt to centre it properly though.

The probably with the older Boxford adaptor they sold was that it poked out the bottom of the smaller 4" Vertex RT and I`m guessing it will do the same with RDG`s new slimline?

Anyway, thanks for telling me they are back in stock. I would have preffered a MT one but that`ll do and half the price of the chronos boxford adaptors.

Suppose it'd work with the countersunk screws into T nuts through, you're prob right chris, they've done it for use with the slimline, or it could just be that it's easier to manufacture!

It definitely looks like the holes are too close to the centre mounting, but it would be easy to drill holes in the other axis. If you are fitting a centre spigot, it wouldn't matter where they were.
