I think you reversed that. *Bridgeports certainly are NOT Rolls-Royce
caliber!

OTOH, as rigid as the Gortons have reputations for being, I'd want a
tilt-head machine for my 'second-ops' position. *My mill is a rigid-ram
machine, and there are things it would be nice to be able to do without
all the fuss and bother of sine plates and complex fixturing.

My I-22 has never had the head swung. *And I do a fair amount of
machining.

I do not think that the ability to swing the head is all that
critical.

I think I made that point above.

Laugh.

You didn't make any point, Wieber. All you did was make a complete
