Vertical slide on a colchester master 2500

[ukracer]

How would I go about fitting a Vertical slide on a colchester master 2500.

I need to go about sizing and squaring up some steel blocks.

do it in a 4 jaw?

yep but u cant move an angle plate up and down its fixed thats why u use a vertical slide

Am i missing the point here..lol you need a square mounting for a vertical slide on a lathe and you plan on making mounting blocks?? or am i thinking too hard here

I would have the same problem with a vertical plate ..its the mounting it does not have from what I can see.

why do you need to move it when it moves on the vertical plane..i thought he needed a square mount..think its bedtime for me here

To hard mate. lol

I am going to make a metal bender using multiple sized blocks. (I now know I can use my 4 jaw)

I have a vertical slide with a 90 degree mount but unlike my Raglan 5 inch I dont have a slotted cross slide.

mount the angle plate were the tool post goes and mount the vertical slide to the angle plate...that gives you the vertical slide a square angle face to the chuck

probably be to high and a lot of overhang it wants mounting on the cross slide not topslide

I am guessing you think I have a flat mount slide, which I guess would not be a vertical slide but a flat slide or milling vice I guess we have best ask @Maker

scary...I could have but Paul never sold the mag drills. (Tongue in cheek) lol

Take the compound off and use the two mounting studs to hold the milling slide.
