A buddy has a knee mill (a Bridgeport) that has a new Anilam controller
and whatnot. I understand, at a very basic level, how it works and how it
can manipulated.

How is a turret mill different?


A Bridgeport is both a knee mill and a turret mill. The table is mounted
on a knee that cranks the table up and down. The head ram mounts to a
rotating turret at the top of the base casting that allows flexibility
in positioning the head, though not while making a cut.
