I was curious if anyone was interested in making one of these in this style for me? I do have my mini-mill now but no accessories as of this time and have a great need for one of these rather quickly. Looks like they are out of stock and on back order and was told that it is not known when/if they will be back.

I am not looking just to rip the design off but just looking at it you can tell it would not be a tough design to make with the proper tools. (Hopefully someday I will be there…haha)

I have the Grizzly 12x36 and would love to build a Bedair style but my cross slide is not slotted like his is shown being mounted. Still rather new to everything.

Did you have to drill into your cross slide to mount it? I have looked at mine and not seeing how I woudl mount it?

no those two bolts where it is mounted are the stock mounting points of the cross slide. i just looked up your lathe and it does look like it would be a bit more complicated on yours.
