Has anybody put a full sized Bridgeport type milling head on a Van Norman #12 or a Nichols Hand Miller? If I put one on the Nichols the mill will be dedicated to that head, which will greatly simplify the installation. The Van Norman I would like to keep using in the traditional modes if possible, and I can't envision how that huge head could go on there and swing out of the way for horizontal milling, for example. Any ideas would be appreciated.
I picked up some J-type heads. I probably should have just waited for the right vertical mill to come along. Sometimes I can't resist a project but don't always have time to finish it. Last night I made an auger extension for my posthole digger, for the purpose of stirring cesspools. Probably one of the more practical uses of my shop:-)
You picked up some?? More than 1?
4, two are pretty close to complete, the third is not too bad, but the fourth is for parts.
