Hi Chris,
I was interested to hear of your ideas about a taper turning
attachment for a Myford.
I am mulling ideas around for just such a thing.
Is there any way that you could send me sketches (or even proper
drawings) to me, so that I don't have to re-invent the wheel!
Cheers,
Roger Mason, in a St. Agnes that has had rain, sleet,
hail, snow and sunshine in the last 24 hours.
