S.Bend lathe mill attachment

[jonesg]

I know rigidity is always a problem with these attachments, but my sherline mill just doesn't do it .

Got a 9" SB model A and after seeing the prices on ebay for atlas attachments,
I looked around and found small drill/milling tables.

CST-2539 4th model down for $84.

mounted to a reinforced angle on the carriage.

Anything I need to be especially wary of?

Could you post a phot of the finished set-up, please?
I have a large vertical slide which I'd like to use for a similar purpose, but can't quite picture how to mount it.

Its a kit designed for a lathe just like the SB-9

Yeh its real nice, its $118 for the slotted table, $25 for the base and $25 for the Acme nut.
The problem is I don't have a mill to finish maching the slots on the vertical table.
It can be milled on the SB9" but I'd need the U12 transfer block, another $62.

Maybe I could take it to the local machine shop and have them finish milling the slots.
