543 forum posts 31 photos	I have just bought this boxford topslide to replace my standard one: It seems to be a geniune Boxford item judging from the type of filler and paint used on the casting, I can only assume from the fact it only has a single slot it must be an early variant of the current slotted cross slide like the on below : What I would like to do is to cut the other two slots in the casting to make it the same as the one immediately above, it does appear to have enough meat for the job. My question is; does anyone know what the measurements are between the slots or perhaps have a Boxford with the above type of cross slide they might be willing to take some measurements from? I have trawled the net to find this info but to no avail. The only thing I have found are references to aftermarket cross slides which from what I read appear to have four slots to Myford spacings/dimensions (South Bend variant here). Regards Paul
