Re: Dovetails...can I buy these off the shelf?

Why don't you just buy one of the Enco Heavy Mill,drill tables for
$120.00 and swag it for the table. 6" x 18 table size. That would be
alot cheaper and give you a much greater capacity. T-slots on one
side and dovetails on the other with adjustable gibs. (check it out
but I think thats correct.

it.

Reid Tool has them but they aren't cheap. $299 for 4" wide and
5"
travel.
$355 for 9" travel. Smaller sizes are also available. These are
grade 40
cast iron with sliding (end adjusted - the best kind) gibs.

For my shoptask 3-n-1, I need to fix the very poor design of the
swinging millhead unit. I'm not too keen on thier newest design
option using the 4 posts (quadralift) to move the millhead up
and
down. I've tried to find off the shelf dovetails with no luck.
It
seems everyone sells linear rails but not a dovetail rail in
the
size
I'd feel comfortable with.
