Can you take a picture showing how the mill/drill head is mounted to the BP mill? I can't quite see it in the pictures you've posted.

Thanks,

the mill/drill head is mounted with an adapter. I took a 3" forge thread pipe coupling, bored out to hold the column, with ears welded on to adapt to the Bridgeport's round column.

Along with the Frank-Mill, I have the Jet JVM 836 milling machine. I added the power feeds and the riser block.

I wish they still made that size of mill. It's a nice size for a home shop.

Ed,

Jet still makes them, but lately the pricing seems to have gone off the scale, with the X and Y power feeds, about $8000. When I bought mine in was in the $3300 range.
