I have placed a picture in the drop box titled "T-slot cross slide for 
taper attachment.jpg"

This cross slide is a development of the Metal Lathe Accessories T-slot
cross slide. I redesigned the end to accomodate the plain taper
attachment used on the 9" and 10K South Bend lathes.

I made a loose pattern and had 2 castings made several years ago.
I don't think that it would fit on a 10L without some modification .
The gib was made in the same style as the original, i.e. set screw
straight gib.

I was thinking of making drawings available in the near future, but I
want to finish the design for a completely home brew taper
attachment(as opposed to an original SB)to go with it.

I'd be interested to know, if there would be enough interested in a
"make it yourself" Taper Attachment to warrant making drawings and
castings available.

Cheers
Pete
