I have recently aquired a Clarkson mk1 grinder and it is all set up and
working. Now the question, what is the purpose of the four 3/4ins and
the four 5/8ins holes on the right hand side of the top slide ?

I'll have to go and look at ours, but I think it is for mounting one of the many
accessories for the machine, assuming you have a standard setup in the first
place.

There are new manuals on ebay (March Engineering) for £15 plus post, same price
as March were selling them for before they went down the tubes.

What accessories do you have?

Or, of course, a certain cynical trader has a CD full of tool & cutter
grinder instructions, including the clarkson mk1 -try searching tool &
cutter on ebay. Lots more instructions for less cash.
