View attachment 122211 Started making a carriage stop last night. Only way I can see to do this is going "all the way" to the back side of the ways. This may have some good mounting area for other accessories being it's going all the way from one way to the other way. I used the mill for the first time and am "definitely" going to need a 3-4" spacer, on the table, to be able to get the work high enough to do the milling. I put a 1" piece of iron under the vice and was barely able to get the 60* cut. My Chicom angle vice was off by about 4* and have to cut twice. (You pay less, you get less!)
The post sticking up is where I'll mount the dial gauge. Gotta figure out how I want to make the lock up. Maybe a gib or if someone has an idea for me just chime in! Thanks
