Rob Id like to ask about that  taper attach .   what  type of steel and did ya harden it ? ...  i can use one for my Sb 10 heavy lathe   so if ya have an extra one send it my way .   we can trade something .. but with your talent doent look like ya need much ....

What id also like to know is when ya add a taper attach one  on a lathe that doenst have fit for it  do you need change the lead screw  or make attch to accommodate?
thanks

Hi Kenny , 

What steel do you have ?  any thing will do just cut it up and weld it together . I used plan old HR and  CR mild steel .

Gave it a wee clean of today ,




There is a series of holes along the back of the lathe bed that facilitates the TTA being bolted anywhere along its length . 


I think the SB TTA is of the travelling type   , it moves with the carriage , same as the Boxford lathe I think .  Should not be to hard to make
