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,

What mill do you currently have?

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.

5176  Thats because you are south of the equator  17428


RE: Vice advice - Mayhem - 03-05-2015

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


RE: Vice advice - mike-sid - 03-05-2015

Lol I also Googled it. You are just a trouble maker. Lol

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.
