Fly cutter on Sherline.

Hello group,

I recieved a catalog from Micro Mark today. I order this about five days or so ago and it's come all the way from America, which makes me laugh when I took it to be a rather cheapo company looking at what they sell. I've order supposidly 'free' catalog with 'free' postage from a lot of massive companies for them to NEVER arrive! And when they boast about them being free only for them to not send you the thing it gives a very bad impression of them as a whole. Thinking about that I have been recieving about four or five radom faxes recently from 'The new bible', 'Win a playstation'.... etc

Anyway, the point of the mail. In there catalog they have a picture of the Sherline mill with the indexing table addon. But in the jaw of the mill is a sort of cylinderical clamp with a lathe tool in it. The table is not rotating, it's not blurred, but the bar clamped in it appears to have been turned down by the lathe tool. Do these table rotate fast enough to do this? On the accesories page I found something that looks very similar to the tool in the jaw of the mill called a Fly Cutter. If I've got this mixed up would there be anyway to clamp something into the mills jaw and then use a tool on the bed to turn it a bar?

Thanks,

John
