[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 633860, member: 25383"] nice work my friend. Never saw anybody ever attempt to make the block before. One question though; why did you not cut dovetails on all four sides of the block? Although I've never had more that two sets of tool holders on one block at the sametime. Also I like the way you did your tee nut on the bottom. Most guys will use a short one which tends to dig into the cast iron on the under face of the compound. Your even spreads the pressure. I made large diameter hardened washers to set under the block to also decrease the wear on the top of the compound, and also bring the tool block in towards the spindle centerline. gary [/QUOTE]
