Unusual vertical slide

[Mike Payne 1Participant @mikepayne1]

Hi,

I have just acquired this vertical slide that I think is unusual in that it has a v-groove cut in the table and a conical (concave) base.

I'm sure these are original features as it looks unused, just slightly tarnished from storage. The table measures 3 3/4" x 8".

Does anyone have any idea of the lathe it is meant to fit?

I will be using it on my Raglan probably with a t-slotted table.

Thanks

Mike

Mike,

Sorry, I don't recognise it … but it looks an excellent design

Sorry I have just edited links.

Nice an meaty! The relieved base will sit flat easily. You could use a V-block style u-clamp to hold round stock in the V.

The table looks remarkably like this [for Boxford] **LINK**

I think it might be by Harrison.

Well found, I think that's what they mean by 'fully loaded'

"its mounting boss was hollowed out to provide clearance for the (optional) 4-way toolpost indexing pawl"

Can you recommend a "fit for purse" modern equivalent, Neil ?

… or should I continue looking for a vintage one?

Thanks all for the replies. Have never seen one set up for gear cutting like that!

Mike,

Post it up on the Raglan forum. There might be some help from there.

My pal has a Raglan, Little John, so if would have to fit in place of the toolpost, (No T slot on the Cross Slide).

Also, from memory, it would need an adaptor to match the Cross Slide.

Anything helpful on the Lathes website, whi ch is usually a mine of good info?

Happy that it is a Harrison slide. Thanks all. Might be able to justify that T-slotted cross slide I have been looking at for ages now!
