In the late 50's I bought a 8" Wade toolroom lathe that was reportedly made in 1939 for $275.? It came with a beautiful Wade milling attachment that replaced the compound.? It had a degree graduation and swiveled like the compound, and had a excellent little vise that looked like a miniature mill vise, it also swiveled and had graduations.? I still regret selling that lathe but divorce can do that to a guy.

For years there have been "Milling Kits" comprising an angle bracket that mounted the compound vertically?as a slide and a table/vise that mounted on the compound. At least 100 years old.? Bill
