This came with the lathe, I did not make it. Attachment is made from 3" steel stock, 2 1/4" high. Slot is 3/8" with set screws from the side to hold cutting tool. The cutting tool was several 3/8 cutting tools welded together to form the shape and cut to hold the insert. There is also a hole drilled in the side to accept a 3/8" bar to use as a handle. |

.Bottom is center bored to match the post on the cross slide. There are two holes drilled for a clamp. There are two pins (one is missing) with an angled end. The holes are drilled to match the pin size (1/4"). Then drilled larger and threaded. |

Detail of the pins showing the angled end. | |
Decided to try out the attachment. It does not fit the post on the cross slide well as the hole is too big. It worked ok though. |
