Re: StateCollage Crosslide

I did mine on a, you might say Rong Foo 45. The dovetails were quite straight forward but did take time. The top and T-slots were done in one setup after very intensive 'square checking' and only after the dovetails were complete. Its a bit of a challenge but what a lovely edition to the '9'. I no longer have the SB9 nor the Chinese Mill. but am working toward a new shop and hope to do another S-4382 for the 10K I am presently refurbishing

I always wanted one. I had a Burke #4 mill. It had a table travel of 9”. You need 12 or more. You need to mill the V groves for the ways and mill the top surface and size the bore for the top slide. Not trivial. Need something like a Bridgeport. -8 Jim B, > On May 27, 2018, at 10:00 PM, mike allen <animal@...> wrote: > > has anyone gotten 1 of the cross slide casting kits from StateCollage?
