GLOAT new mill
Here's a pic of my new mill being weighed:
http://www.metalworking.com/dropbox/...from_scale.jpg It tipped the scale at 5500 lbs. A fella on this NG asked about buying a Bridgy, so I sold him mine. And then went on the hunt for a machine with taper 40 tooling. This machine is missing the horizontal mill arbor supports. Has anyone made their own? I'll first check if Supermax will sell me the part. Karl |

Personally, I can hardly imagine any personal milling project in which I may embark, for which my Bridgeport would not be adequate. But this mill definitely makes me very excited. I have a bunch of 40 taper tooling pieces BTW. -- Due to extreme spam originating from Google Groups, and their inattention to spammers, I and many others block all articles originating from Google Groups.

Damn, I'd have be tempted to hit the liquid accounts for this one. HELL, I'd even start working OT to pay back my savings.. How far did it travel on the shipping? It's in Rochester, NY heading for Dassel, MN My SO didn't even give me any guff at all. Having the other mill already sold made the difference. But, I heard something about a new kitchen floor. You KNOW I won't say a thing. To Iggy: I was happy with my Bridgeport till I got the Excello CNC. No comparison, so then I needed a manual mill that will keep up. Now, both machines use the same tooling. Karl |

It looks like it would work well to lag bolt the Bridgeport down to. Greg |
