gosh that reminds me of my very first milling machine. (wistful memories)

Wow, I think that's about as close to a Bridgeport as you can get without looking like a Bridgeport! Looks really beefy and solid!

Yeah, looks like one of these. If it is, it’s a smoking deal. Cruise Director has mandated this years fiscal surplus be used to install central air conditioning, so no new big-$$$$ toys this year.

Weeelllll.... You see the problem with that mill is that instead of a ram that goes in and out, it is in a cradle, that only tilts sideways, both directions. Very sturdy. Very strong. Just don't ned to use a tap handle longer than 4.5 inches. Ask me how I know!

This looks almost identical to a mill I saw this afternoon, except that it was rather in bad need of cleaning up. A lady up the peninsula from here is clearing out her late husbands shop. I was there looking at completely different things. I did not look at it closely in terms of its condition since I was there for other things and had limited time. There is also a very dirty but otherwise very capable looking Taiwanese lathe. I just sold my mill so I would have less to move to my new house, so it certainly would not have made sense for me to buy it now no matter how good it looked! She expected to be putting these up for sale in a few weeks, and I am giving her a link to this forum - or I may post them on her behalf.

That looks more like the smaller 6x26 milling machines. I have one and that looks very similar to mine. The 8x30 usually had a larger case iron base that went to the floor.

I cannot say for sure - mine was an early model, the B048, with a 32" table that actualy clamped out to 33" and 22" travel in X. A great hobby mill if you don't do manual tapping.
