"DoN. Nichols" fired this volley in
:


Well ... my BOSS-3 Bridgeport CNC mill has the Y-axis ways
exposed in front of and behind the saddle -- as well as the upper half
of the vertical ways that the knee travels on.

Not sure whether or not you count a Bridgeport as "of any
consequence". :-)

Nope, it's a good mill, being run by someone not willing to install the
way covers and aprons it came with when new -- and without which it is
never intended to be run.
