My Kondia is a bit bigger than a bridgeport and I can tell you that they break down into lots of smaller parts Big Grin Whilst not all parts will fit into your pocket, with a friend or two and an imagination you will be able to get it in there.

Mike,

I found a 4" Dayton I believe on Craig's List that fits my Fray mill like a glove.  It's a Kurt knock off made in Taiwan and is far superior the to ones from the mainland.  It too came with a swivel base that sits on a shelf.

So you may want to take a tour of CL or if you're not too far from Chicago check out the offerings at Lost Creek Machine.

  ED,    My  Frankenmill sports a Bridgeport 1 1/2 hp high speed head, and its base is a Hardnige TM horizontal mill.
Looks like I'm all in with this mill since I just bought the DRO.

Is it just me or is the flag hung the wrong way around? I thought the stars should be on the right-hand side.

Actually I just Googled it and you have it correct. Our flag should be displayed the same (with the union to the left as you view it from the front), so I will have to tell the people at work that they have it wrong!

I am actually British, and there is no way that you can hang the Union Jack incorrectly, which I why I am ignorant to such things Big Grin

Ignorance is bliss Big Grin  Shame on you.

The Union Flag can be flown upside down, it can also be hung the wrong way round.
