Well, that doesn't sound very open-minded at all....Oh ya, it's called "Dead Art" - not happening.

Your first name wouldn't happen to Art, would it ?![]()
I was in the same predicerment but ended up dragging that 3700 lb Hendey home anyways...I just couldnt stand the thought of it being thrown in a Calderon of molten metal.But no, I have two lathes already - one much older and one much younger. I had to close my eyes and walk away. It was not easy.
It is a simple as it gets. A 5/8"x 11 pitch 3 inch long bolt. The spacer on the bottom of the table is there so that the bolt does not protrude through the bottom of the vise. The hole on the table is size on at .625".Fortunately, as of today, mine still has the vise. Hopefully, that will help me adapt something for an indexer and rotary table.
If you get time, I'd love a photo or two of that stud arrangement.

Yes 5/8"-11. I suppose I could have used another bolt size and thread pitch, then bush down, but seeing that the table hole is .625" I drilled and threaded the vise accordingly.So the bottom of the vise is threaded 5/8-11?

There was a box in the mail box today, with a chunk of iron wrapped like a large piece of meat along with some metric drill bits and taps. Totally unexpected, thank you so much. It will be awhile before I get to machining this part. I want to get the shaper completed before I go in another direction.View attachment 61318View attachment 61320
I can't add pictures to a pm....
Pretty sure that a flat rate box will be cheapest, at which point I am thinking that I will cut off 4.5" so you have room to screw up once.
Then when you nail it the first time you can send the other half to susq if his is in need.of course, if you need the second piece he'll have to make his own deal with the devil.

And so it seems.Glad that it made it....... I was digging through some of my junk, and then I looked at the flat rate box........ Now I have a little less junk and you have a tad more.... Lol
