Hey David. When you say the head tilts, do you mean nod or side to side?
Side to side
Thanks, just looking to understand what my mill/drill is a clone of. I'm prolly gunna sell it in the next couple of years and will need to call it something.
Do you have a pic?
My old mill drill needs some work
Back when I was looking for a good knee mill, I posted a few things about my old mill drill. It's a bench top round post model with no real z axis other than the quill. The head can be cranked up and down a fair bit to gain working space but totally loses x&y in the process so fairly useless...

Prolly some on the forum. Lemme look and I'll add a link.
I came back to add a link and there is one already here by @YYCHM !
Im tellin ya, the guy is a living time vault of info.
His link would have been mine.
I've used the machine exactly twice since I got my Hartford Clone working. And that was only to avoid setting up a part twice.
So it's taking up space and needs to find a new home.

Ya, it's a hybrid in many many ways. If you read the whole thread at the link @YYCHM provided, the mystery just gets deeper.
It's a lot bigger machine than it looks too. But it also has significant issues. If I had decided to live with it, I'd have installed a DRO and run it till it quit - which is probably a good 20 years more than I'll live.
