General question:

Does anyone know the kits from hemingwaykits.com and can say something about them in general and the Taper Turning Attachment - Mk2 in particular?

Many thanks

They are well-respected, proven designs.

Threads and fasteners will be as the original design rather than modern metric, so you might need to invest in obscure screwcutting gear unless you redesign the item.

They are noted as being economical with the bar or plate material they supply (i.e. anything that is not a casting). There is sometimes barely enough to hold in a chuck and machine the part. It can be easier to make the part from your own longer or bigger piece of the same material.

I think on some items you can buy the drawings alone and then study them (to see what you might need to buy or what you might want to modify) before you commit to buying the complete item. You would have to see if this is possible with the TT attachment.

Thank you very much for this very qualified assessment.
Sounds like you already have some experience with it.
