My suggestion, as a start, is to ring the telephone number at the top right corner of their website and ask them for their advice.

Rightly or wrongly, I interpreted the OP's query to refer to a vertical slide, again like this from Warco. It would certainly be far cheaper than the milling attachment. For the purpose of light milling, I gather from the experience of others, that it would suffice, so long as the slide will fit the cross slide of the Toolco lathe, which appears to have the 'for-and-aft' tee slots. A sub-table would be an easy project upon which to mount the slide, should the holes not line up.

I should reiterate that I have no experience of these slides. It's just a casual observation.

Three comments:

Warco sell a mounting plate to fix the vertical slide to the lathes cross slide.

The "Myford" style milling slide can be used with some mods to the above mounting plate. This can provide angular adjustment if that's useful.

If considering the "milling attachment" as apposed to the "milling slide", the rear splash guard may not be deep enough to accommodate it. I believe Warco have a suitable replacement splash guard.

Oldpedagog – I bought this from Warco when I got my lathe, and ever since the noble gentry on here put me right on saf(er) workholding I get my small milling jobs done quite easily. Ignore this particular instance (I do better now) as it is what got me all the good advice! You can just see the vertical milling slide, cast angle plate and the baseplate to go with it which fixes to the cross slide. I also got their small vise which mounts on the front of the slide but it won't hold most of my work.

Bo'sun absolutely right, so annoying and so restrictive for normal turning/facing operations with the slide in the way and the "unexpected" need for swapping has had me cursing many a time, hence my name is now on a list for a mill!
