A buddy has a knee mill (a Bridgeport) that has a new Anilam controller

How is a turret mill different?

Same thing different name. When you import these mills U.S. Customs
classifies them as "turret" mills. So you'll see that term more often with
imported machines than the more familiar term "knee" mill.

If it was good enough for Bridgeport to market their machines
as turret mills, surely the Asian clone makers can't be wrong?
