slotter keyseater

I've had a Bridgeport slotter on the back of my bridgy mill for years. Seldom used but very handy when needed. Alas, I sold this mill and have no way to mount it anymore. I'm wondering about a replacement machine. The shapers I've seen don't look too handy because most of my use is for inside splines and slots. A rotary table and vise don't look easy on a shaper.

I came across this:

Anybody know about this machine? Are there other good suggestions on what to look for?

Looks like tooling would cost a fortune for a keyseater. I won't go this route. I'm on the hunt for some way to make inside splines,square holes,keyways etc.

Where's the tooling that was with the keyseater before they scrapped it?

With $200 for loading I'd expect it to be carried onto the trailer by a team of 6 eunuchs all matched in height and without visible whip marks or blemishes :-|

How can you pass up an excuse to try rotary broaching?

So you're selling your Bpt. slotter? It would probably look good mounted on the back end of my old Bridgeport...

Its for sale, AFTER I find something to replace it. A deep plan B: is to mount it on a dead (parts donor) knee mill I have sitting in the barn.
