A 1HP Bridgeport (like I had until last year) can easily run a 1-1/2" or 2" cutter with 3 or 4 inserts and the right style of cutter & inserts.

 My Frankenmill with a 1.5 HP high speed Bridgeport J head runs my 2" V555 face mill with out a problem.  My problem with any milling operation would be the limited rigidity of my base.  The J head can bite off more than my base can chew.  Ken's advice is like gold to me. Ken has not steered me wrong yet......except the time he tried to get me to buy a Triumph.  Rotfl 468
