Slotting a change wheel bore

[Chuck PickeringParticipant @chuckpickering45941]

I know this is an old thread, but please bear with me. I have the original article on the Peterson slotting tool. I also found a set of Solid Works models of the slotter, but I can't remember where I got them. I am trying to modify the models to fit my 7x lathe. I successfully imported the SolidWorks drawings into Fusion 360. Has anyone modified this slotter for a 7x and be willing to share the drawings? I have printed the original body pieces via Fusion, to use as a pattern and will cast it in aluminum (I'm a yank, hence the yank spelling). I could machine the original to modify it but would rather modify the model.

Very similar to a wood mortise machine,where you just drill out most of the waste and leave the chisel to clean up the slot..

Not sure I would like to try it on my lathe though !!
