Keyway Cutting

[ChrisLHParticipant @chrislh]

I used to use the racking the saddle method and ended up with a bed regrind; my old style Myford has the saddle cut away in just the place where it is needed for the forces generated by this job. I now lock the saddle and use the topslide and linked handle method. Particularly easy to set up if you have a QTP with height adjustment.

This is a method that I used for keyway cutting which avoids using the rack to provide the cutting forces.

Two lengths of wood are clamped to the bed using long bolts or studding.
This also speeds up the process .
