That link will work on your computer. It doesn't work on mine because I don't have the file at all, not to mention the same file structure you have. I'd like to have it! I do have the casting, but not

Hi There, Well, if I shorten it, I loose some of its functionality. When I am ready to tackle this project, I'll do a mock up and see if it is going to be feasible. Good Luck! -Blue Chips- Webb

??? Can ya shorten the new crossslide some when ya make it ? ??? animal

Hi There, Yes, I know about the extension for the Taper Attachment (I even knew the guy that designed it and got MLA to make it).? I just don't know if it will function with the Heavy Ten taper (it

??? There's a extension for the crossslide to make it work with the taper attachment , Like all their stuff ya can just buy the drawings if ya want

Hi There, I purchased one of those kits earlier this year and it is currently sitting in a drawer.? I plan to adapt it to my Heavy Ten.? There is plenty of metal and I am pretty sure it will

Thanks for that link Al, makes fascinating reading, but I doubt whether the information therein is of much practical value to someone with an old SB lathe! ?To put that into context, it deals only

That worked once I edited the text to put the link back together.

One thing that MLA advertises is that their projects are made for the lathe ON the lathe. If I remember correctly the extended crossslide needed use of a mill for the T-slots. Great drawing package

Try this one. Looks like my computer kept going to a saved version. https://www.practicalmachinist.com/forum/threads/machining-a-t-slotted-cross -slide.177054/page-5#post-1449260 Al

That link doesn't work.

I remember reading that Rolls Royce set their newly cast engine blocks “on the shelf” for some 8 years before machining them, so the internal stresses would be relieved. Don’t know if that is

I have one sitting on the shelf too. The casting looks great and I would love to machine it but my mill is to small. I'm planning on getting a bigger mill but in the mean time I'm going to college to

+++ on the Paula thread. I was going to try and find it for you. I can only wish that I could work to her standards. I think this will answer all your questions.

Here is a very technical article on tool life between aged and non-aged CI. Bottom line is aged cast Iron extend the machine tool life.

Stress relieving took part over more than a year and it was done outdoors. It allowed the parts to freeze in winter. There is a lot of cryogenic treatment of parts done today with liquid nitrogen.

I imagine that stress relieved where necesary actually means where appropriate.? Castings for the slides, yes, castings for a handle, no.As an aside, I have never understood how aging at ambient

Going back a lot of years…. I bought the crossslide casting/instructions kit and completed it. Been on my 10k ever since and never give it a second thought. I bought a number of MLAs other SB kits

I purchased one of their kit several years ago. That project is still on my never ending to-do list. The casting is well done. Stress relieved means it has been heated after casting to relieve the
