I think I saw that one on ebay awhile back.. Sure looks like a model H foot stock... Can you find any numbers on it? Looks like some trunk monkey may have milled it off..Ramsay 1

Well I snagged it and we will see. I need the steady rest now.

The "K" footstock is a bit different... One thing about the K is that the centerline is offset from the center of the table slot.. I would think the "K" footstock would be peculiar to that.. Ramsay 1

I am glad that I could share that video.. I got it many years ago from a guy I knew who worked at K&T...I also donated one on the Tri D milling head.. I got that one as a 16mm film and had it professionally transferred.. I have done that as well as shared many manuals on Keith Rucker's vintagemachinery.org so that they will live on...I want everyone to enjoy the use of this data.. I would imagine that after I am gone much of this along with the machines I own will be tossed out.. I do not know of anyone who made a dedicated machine such as the 2d .. Ramsay 1

Yes sir - and different between the sizes. Like the 12" is 1/2" and the 14" is more than that.

Ten and 12 inch offset= .500
Fourteen inch offset = .880
Model K footstock should be the same for ten and twelve inch as is the dividing head foot print..
I bought a 14 inch model K once and it was just too big for my machines.. I sold it and always wanted a ten or twelve inch K.. Ramsay 1
