I have a Rockwell 21-100 mill with a head that rotates side to side.
The head on it's side will run into the table before I get the barrel in the vise on the table high enough to get the spindle parallel with the barrel.
I could cut perpendicular to the barrel, and then file out the uncut corners by hand.
I am looking at a Ruger #1 re barrel right now.
TIA
Put the vise on a riser.
Sheesh...
com...
Or mark it out with machinist's blue and file it out by hand. Sometimes hand work is faster. Could probably have gotten it done by the time you get a reply.

If I understand, you're asking how to machine on the end of a long cylinder.

It's not a Bridgeport.
