Taig Compound Slide Drawing or dimensions

Interesting project .....I am going to just chime in here.....:allgood:
 
Any more progress on this? I'm interested in how you duplicate the ring-type mounting system. I'll warn you though, the Taig clamping system for the compound doesn't really hold that well. A sheet of paper helps, but I always use some home-made clamps to trap the compound so it can't budge. Nothing worse than ruining a part because the compound rotates ever-so-slightly on each cut.
 
Ogberi, nope no further developments here. The compound slide works great. I used some simple hold down brackets with T-nuts and clamp directly to the cross slide. The Taig ring clamp, while very clever, just seemed over done the more I considered the work it would take to duplicate it. I prefer simple, so I abandoned the ring clamp idea.
 
Make some flush mounted gib screws, then you can clamp on to the overhang without interference.
