Fortunately both come with a little black arm I can fit into the toolpost of the lathe and there's a stem at the top which I can mount in the chuck/collet of the milling machine but I was curious to the use of the dovetail and if it's worth investing in the extras?

Oh yes, if you machine it correctly, you don't need the 1.3" long slot in the bottom left hand view. Edited By Circlip on 16/04/2010 12:33:21
