Milling attachment inuse on 7-in. lathe formilling out parts inthe manifold of amodel 4-cylinder gasengine. One holdingclamp removed for
clarity.
BY CLEVERLY stacking cold-rolled flat stocktogether, T-slots and slide for this lathemilling attachment are made without costly
machinery. In fact, only two tools, a drill pressand lathe, are needed to make the attachment.Shown mounted on the cross slide of a lathe(Fig. 1), the attachment features a swivel baseand tilting slide which has T-slots for clampingthe work securely in place. Although this at-
tachment was made for a 7-in. Atlas lathe, theoverall dimensions could be increased 25% foruse with a 9 or 10-in lathe.
Start by cutting the stock size cold-rolled flatstock for T-slot pieces A, B, C and D in Fig. 3to 3-in. lengths. Then lay out and drill the #21holes. Pieces A and B, and C and D can beclamped together when drilling so that they willline up properly when assembling later. Next,hacksaw the slide plate E in Fig. 3 to shape andtrim up the cut edges with a file. Lay out and
scribe lines on the slide plate for locating piecesB and D. Be sure these lines are square withthe sides of the slide plate. Clamp the B and Dpieces to the slide plate and drill the 12 #21holes. Then open the holes with a #9 drill andcountersink the holes on the back of the slideplate to sink 10-32 fh screws just below thesurface. Tap the #21 holes in pieces A and Cwith 10-32 NF threads.
Now cut the back plate pieces (F and G inFig. 3) to length. Since stock size cold rolled

does not come 2 3/16 and 1 11/16 in. wide, youwill have to machine them. Clamp them on thelathe faceplate with a 90 angle block and turnthe 2 3/16-in. piece about 1/64 in. undersize. Setthese pieces aside for the moment, and make upand drill pieces H, J and K in Fig. 3. Notethat the ends of piece H are filed to take thebrass gib L, which should also be made up atthis time.
To assemble, first clamp piece J to the backand right side of the slide plate. The top andbottom screws securing piece J will run intothe B pieces, so bolt these pieces on the frontof the slide plate. Spot drill the slide platethrough the #9 holes in piece J, then remove itand drill through with a #21 drill. Tap 10-32.
To be certain of getting piece H parallel withpiece J, place piece F between them. Be surethat the gib, piece L, is between pieces H andF also. Clamp piece H to the slide plate and test
piece F to see that, it slides up and down smooth-ly. Then spot drill the slide plate through theholes in piece H and drill and tap as you didfor piece J. Assemble the K pieces with the Fpiece in place.
Now, place piece G, the other back plate youmachined to 1 11/16 in. wide, on piece F betweenthe K pieces. There should be 1/32 in. clearanceon each side between the K pieces. Clamp theG piece in place, and drill the 3/16 in. rivet holesdeep enough to spot drill the hole locations on

the F piece. Then remove the pieces andcontinue drilling the holes through theF piece. Countersink the rivet holes onthe F and G pieces a good 1/16 in. and
fasten with rivets cut from 3/16 in. dia.soft steel rod. Heat rivets red hot beforesetting. When cool, file or grind flush atboth ends.
Your next step is to true up the front,
or top surfaces of the T-slot pieces A and Cso that they will be parallel with part G ofthe back plate that fastens to the angle onthe lathe cross slide. First remove piecesH, J and K on the back of the slide plate.
Then permanently fasten T-slot pieces A,B, C and D to the slide plate. File pro-jecting 10-32 screws flush with A and Cpieces. Reassemble the riveted back plateto the slide with pieces H, J, K and L.Tighten the screws so that the back platewill not slide. Now clamp the assemblyto the lathe faceplate, so that the backplate is against the faceplate and T-slotpieces facing outward. Take a series oflight cuts off the surfaces of pieces A and
C, which will true up the front and com-pensate for any difference in the thick-nesses of the flat bar stock.
For the feed screw, make up piece Min Fig. 3 and fasten to the top of the
slide plate with two 10-32 fh screws as inFig. 2. Do not drill the -in. hole in pieceM at this time. Also make the nut, pieceN in Fig. 3, and fasten to the top of pieceG with two 10-32 fh screws.

tool holder set at center height. Twenty-five divisions on the dial will indicate slidemovement of .002 in. for each division. A
25-tooth gear fastened on the lathe spindlewas used for indexing. Scribe every fifthline (.01) the full width of the bevel. Makethe handle pieces Q and R as detailed inFig. 3, and turn the thrust washers from
bronze or brass.Before assembling the feed screw to the
slide and back plate, turn the mountingbolt 5 in. (Fig. 3). Use a stock -20 hex.nut with the bolt. Then remove the back
plate from the slide and bore the -in.hole, countersinking the widest of the backplates to the same taper as on the mount-ing bolt. Try to arrange the work so thatthe taper on the bolt and back plate can
be turned without changing the angle ofthe lathe compound rest.
When assembling the feed screw to bear-ing block M on the slide plate, place athrush washer on the feed screw shaft at
each side of block M. Then screw on thedial and handle on the feed screw, allow-ing just enough play for easy turning.With the handle and dial locked togetherlike locknuts, hand solder or braze the
handle to the dial. Drill a 1/16-in. holethrough the handle and feed screw anddrive a pin through it. Scribe an indexmark on the slide plate as on E in Fig. 3.

way the compound rest was clamped, drillingand tapping needed holes in angle iron, to takethe plunger pins and clamp screws used tofasten the compound rest.
To drill the -in. milling attachment mountinghole in the angle, clamp it so that the verticalface is exactly at right angles to the lathe bedways and bore with a drill chucked in the latheheadstock. This will place the pivot point of theattachment on the lathe centerline which is ad-
vantageous for some types of milling operations.Work to be milled is clamped against the ma-
chined surface of the slide as in Fig. 1. Use in. squarehead machine bolts with headsplaced in T slots for clamping.
