Brings it up to the standard of my ML7. Adding a vertical slide opens up all sorts of new possibilities too.

276 forum posts 149 photos	Hi Hopper and vga, Yes I do have a vertical slide for this cross slide. I could have carried out this operation on my Stepperhead lathe but the Chipmaster is a much bigger and more rigid lathe and even on this I could only make about .020" cuts without chattering etc. I modified the original cross sliide by adding 0.500" steel strips bolted from underside.

I find the Myford swivelling vertical slide annoyingly flexible , which does limit depth of cut. But the fixed vertical slide is a much more rigid beast and much to be preferred for most jobs.
