On drill presses lots of people mount a sacrificial sheet of mdf or ply wood or chipboard. When it gets too messy toss it away.
I was wondering if the same concept exists for a Hercus 9" cross slide and how people have done it.
I have made a couple of plugs that fit into the hole in the cross slide and could use one of those to attach a plate.
Was wondering if others have done it differently. I dont particularly want to drill holes and make threads in the original cross slide. That seems daft.
Reason I ask is that am going to mount a Myford Milling Attachment onto a Hercus cross slide, am 99% there but dont want to drill 2 holes in the cross slide plate for the two studs in the original base.
I continue to be chuffed and amazed at the thread cutting process - cut my 2nd useful real job thread in the photo below " 7 Adaptor Milling" out of black bar for a test piece and was quite pleased and surprised at results. Had another go with some free cutting steel and it seemed much nicer to cut.
