    Lathe milling table

    A milling height extension table for a lathe cross slide made from mild steel.

    When using a lathe for work it was not designed for I think it needs a bit of help, this brings the work nearer the centre height and reduces the need for packing pieces, it also adds some useful weight to resist cutting forces.
    It has enabled me to do some quite heavy milling work, my largest cutter being a 1.5 inch shell mill.
