QUOTE=C9x]If the price is not too far out of sight and they have them, get a milling vise attachment for your lathe.

I did some surprising stuff on mine.

Worked well until I got one of the 750# Mill-Drills.

I can't tell in the pic, but it looks like your carriage may have T-slots.
If it does it's easy to make your own milling attachment hold down gizmo.[/QUOTE]
C9X---yes, a milling vice is part of "the plan".
