Re: Suggestions for quickly setting accurate angles on the compound?
Watch this Joe Pie video. I've used this on my 10k a bunch of times. He explains how extremely accurate this technique can be.

I wall mounted my VFD box, but located the remote pendant on a stalk mounted above the change gear cover.  In addition to the VFD control, I added a hall effect tachometer to it too.
The mount also doubles as a spindle indexing rig.
Mine is on my Logan 922, but I'm only tossing an idea out for consideration.

Suggestions for quickly setting accurate angles on the compound?
I have a 10k (light 10), and I'd like to cut a few machine tapers (e.g. JT33) and I have a keyless chuck I'd like to repair after it's internal taper was messed up by a similarly bad arbor.
In any case, I want to cut accurate angles, and I do not have a taper attachment.
Tom Lipton has a great video series with a few options, but the best requires using a sine bar that's referencing a surface that's parallel with the compound travel, but the only possible surface on my compound is the machined T-slot for the tool post, and that's (at best) perpendicular (and I have doubts about how accurately it was made wrt the dovetails).
Tom's video is here:??
Does anyone here have suggestions for doing this? Some ideas:
(A) I could mount a parallel in a tool holder, indicate that to be parallel to the compound travel, *then* mount a sine bar to that reference and indicate the?sine bar.? That's more work than I'd really like to put in every time I do this, but at least it's non-destructive.
(B) I have a mill & surface grinder - I could probably machine a flat on the side of the compound that's parallel with the dovetails.? I don't recall how much material there is to remove there, though, and that would probably be on the "front" side, rather than the back (in order to avoid the gib screws), which would make it slightly more difficult to indicate.
(C) ??? Maybe there's a casting kit or something for a new compound that has a more functional design?
(D) I suppose I could fabricate a new compound, and re-use the screw, nut, and other hardware.
(E) Maybe I could place some pin holes in the top of the compound at key locations, then pull the toolpost and set a sine bar?+ parallel against those... The challenge here I think is ensuring that they are aligned properly, since they're on the opposite side of the casting from the feature I'd need to indicate on the mill (the dovetails?)
Anyway, I'd like to see how other folks have solved this.
Thanks! --Rogan

I put mine on the wall above the lathe With an outlet that can be used by the lathe, milling machine, or table saw, depending on what I'm doing.

Esteemed group members,
Any suggestions where to put the 3hp VFD for my 14.5" tool room lathe?? I'm thinking that attaching it to the wall behind the lathe might be the cleanest install for me instead of figuring out where to mount it on the lathe. Any thoughts?? Pros or cons as to where it should be.? 220V outlet is surface mounted on the wall near the tailstock end of the lathe. Current plan is to mount the VFD on the wall and near the outlet, run armored cable to the lathe and transition to rigid conduit across the back of the lathe to the junction box where the motor wiring is located.? Alternatively, I could mount the VFD to the wall near the headstock end and run surface wiring over to the outlet.
Thanks,

I have mine installed on the wall behind the headstock. ?It never gets hit with any swarf. ?I do have it remote controlled, so I don’t have to reach over the machine. ?A picture is worth a 1000 words.

Never install controls behind any equipment. Especially a VFD where you have to reach over the lathe to turn it on and off, and to change speed. Also, remember that those VFDs have tiny display screens, and installing it far away will require you to use binoculars
to read the settings ?
Look at the commercial lathes. They all install the DRO/VFD controls on a stand/post either above the headstock, or near the tailstock.?
I am a little partial to a high headstock location, but it is your lathe and install where it is most convenient for you.?

My lathe that is up against a wall has a pile of swarf behind it. If your VFD was at the tailstock end it might stay cleaner….

That number doesn't ring any bells for me. I enlisted a
couple years before the war in Vietnam ended, and after the
POWs from the Hanoi Hilton were returned. I crewed an F-111D
fighter for BGen. Robinson Reisner at Cannon AFB, NM., once
as a very junior member of the team that launched him one
fine day. Mid 1974? Crippled myself a bit that fall &
winter and retrained to be a still photographer in the
middle of 1975. Tech school at Lowry AFB, CO., then Eglin AFB still a
pretty junior airman for a couple of years where I met MGen.
Michael Collins, and worked with Col. George E. (Bud) Day,
also for a short time. I was there for a couple more years.
Made Senior Airman, instead of Sergeant as a member of the
2nd group to not make Sgt when the rank of SrA was
introduced. In May 78 I moved to Nellis AFB, NV, and in June
photographed my 2nd aircraft accident. By August I was
teaching my coworkers how to do crash & accident photos.
I probably met Capt. Sullenberger while I was there, as I
was one of the photographers for the Red Flag accident
investigation he mentioned in his book. Captain Mark Postai
was married to one of my former coworkers there when he
died. She'd been one of my trainers there as a young SrA.,
then got out, became a RN, and married Mark. I spent 5 years
there. A couple years in Turkey, 1983-85. Worked in the
hanger Francis Gary Powers had flown out of when he was shot
down over The USSR in 1960. Ran the base photo lab, as I'd
been promoted to TSgt shortly after I arrived. And got
chained to a desk. When my 2 years there were up I moved to Eglin AFB again,
once again in a new career field, SATCOM, after schools at
Keesler AFB, MS, and Ft. Gordon, GA. Only got to stay 6
months, due to my unit closing. They'd sent the terminal I
was supposed to work on to Thule AS, Greenland. Offered to
let me go there, remote for a year. Turkey was considered a
remote tour, too. So I turned it down. Wound up back in
Turkey again, this time at Pirinclic AB,? near Diyarbakir,
Turkey, for a year. Left there in the fall of 87, for
Sumter, SC, and Shaw AFB. There for four years. Counting
being deployed to Riyadh Saudi Arabia for Desert
Shield/Desert Storm. From Shaw to Germany, very late in
1991, to Wiesbaden, and Lindsey AS, in an 19th Century
Cavalry base. And 3? other bases before I left Germany in
early 1996, to Tinker AFB, OK, and the OKC metro... Been
here 28 years now. Longer than I was in the Air Force...
