My little Bridgeport clone has about 30" of travel on the bed so I can skim any 4 cylinder head or block easily as those are about 18" long. With a flycutter set at 10" diameter you need half of that to start the cut plus another couple of inches to cover the far corners of the head plus the head length so I can just about cope with something 22" long. However when it comes to 6 cylinder engines and especially the Jag one which is 28" long I'm stumped.
What would be a good mill to go for with 36" or 40" of travel to cope with those longer jobs?
