Wayne,

Mine came with a 220 single phase motor that I believe is original...lucky,
I guess. It has B&S #7 taper which works well for the light work I do.
Most of the tooling is shop made, which can and maybe should be done in a
hobby environment. If it's really worth less than $1000, maybe I shouldn't
take such good care of it!

I think some M head machines came with #2 Morse taper?

What is a "Round Ram" bridgeport milling machine. Someone has offered
one for $100.00. There are no collets and the seller is not sure if they
can be bought. It also has a 440 3 phase motor. Any input would be
great, thank you
