I never thought a yacht designer¡¯s wife would be so dense as to throw large pieces of metal away. You are a lucky man.

The most amazing thing happened yesterday. ?I showed my wife a photo of the milling attachment for the 618 with the jaw plates to my wife. ?She said. ?"Oh, I thought they might be important when I was sweeping the floor so I put them in the?
Drawer under your lathe"?The only place I had not looked in five days of searching! ?The shop is really clean now!
Thanks,
Jay
Thank you very much John. ?I will check with them.

The lathe Altas Craftsman lathe I got recently had the milling ?attachments but no plates. I ordered a set from Clausing. I think it was a decent price, shipping was reasonable and they arrived fairly quickly. Another option if you don¡¯t find them elsewhere. Good luck.?

I did a bad thing the other day. I was cleaning up my bench and dropped the jaw plates for my 618 Atlas lathe milling attachment in the trash bucket and promptly forgot to go for them as soon as I could do so. The phone rang, and someone came to the door to ask a question. I, forgot the plates, until the next day and my clean up wife had thrown the contents of the bucket in the trash that was collected. Now I am in the middle of a job and have not jaw plates. With the virus scare I am not allowed out of my cage so, do any of you have a set you want to sell or duplicate for me?
I have no steel stock on hand to make a set from so can anyone out there help? I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks
