Ah! Now all you need to do is a CNC conversion of it!

If you need any full-custom circuitry made with low-temperature-soldering
TSOP ICs, Wild Bill can help you. He's got it all figured out.

machine. This summer we build two new bays on the shop; then we'll see.)

He has the Bridgeport series 2 CNC, no need to convert the manual mill.
Manual still rules for quick tasks vs. CNC.

Yes, Pete... I was kidding!

But the Series-II he has doesn't have nearly the envelope of that mill.
He might do well to convert it, and re-jigger the BP for manual work!

You will enjoy it. They are sweet machines!

honest mistake."

That looks just as rigid as my Supermax. You'll LOVE it.

Now, I'd suggest you upgrade your cutting tools. I make extensive use
of Sandvick R390 inserts with endmills from 1/2" to four inch. These
inserts run great without coolant and make the most of a rigid
machine. I've learned to make cuts so most of the chips fly back into
the machine whenever possible, but a chip deflector of some type is
needed because the sandvick design puts all the heat in the chip. They
come off almost red hot.

Thanks. This one, I will keep. It uses NMTB 40 toolholders, which I
had a lot in my store, so I am well stocked up.

Manual still rules for quick tasks vs. CNC.

Yes, stuff like "insert a steel bar and take off 0.2 inches from one side"

It has about same envelope.

Not sure what Wild Bill has got "all figured out". For sure the idiot
couldn't machine his way out of a paper bag.

With that mill...you can take off .50-.75 in one pass
