    I suspect the genesis of this anchor was from seeing an attachment to a lathe. It might have been in the Bedside Reader series.

    A spreading anchor for a T slot sounds very useful. Do have to be careful not to force the top of the slot since it could chip out.

    An adjustable parallel is a close cousin.

    Thanks Marv!
