I have started to make a replacement compound slide as my original cast iron one is a repaired one and I do not want to continue to use it.
First you start with a block of steel and square it up. Yesterday I milled out the area for the nut for the screw and the majority of the metal where the dovetail will be. I hope to do the dovetail on the weekend and then surface the top down to the right height for the Phase II tool post.
Only 2 pictures at the moment. Will post more later when there is more to show.
