I got a Victoria slotter/slotting attachment with my Elliot TV2 milling machine.
The problem is, I don't have a clue how it is supposed to work or operate it (a reoccurring theme )
I can't seem to find any information about it on the net. The only place I found a small photo is on the lathes.co.uk website, which has a small picture at the bottom of the Omnimill 01 & 02 page.
Let's start with a photo of what it looks like now.
This is the adjustment knob with the SLOT and RADIUS settings
When I took it apart the first time to clean it all up the cam fell out so I don't know what the original setting was.
I believe the cam operates on the bottom area of the slot on the cast housing.
It came with a (looks homemade) tool/tool holder
Which can be removed by loosening a grub screw.
I made a quick video to show the difference between the 'SLOT' and 'RADIUS' settings.
Now the questions:
How do I use this contraption (SLOT/RADIUS)?
How do I secure tools to it?
Any recommendations for tools to buy so I can cut internal keyways on pulleys etc?
