I agree, but the design was thought up for the same reasons as some hobbyists build frankenmills, to get dual spindles without the need for a new machine design, the omni mill head just wouldn't suit 99% of horizontal milling columns as they usually have dovetail overarms, but is a nice little machine for when I do decide to downsize, I now know what to look for, Thanks Arbalest.
