Warco VMC question

In article , Boo writes

My FB2 also has tilts and swivels, though I have never had the need to use them. However, ISTM that swivel would be required if you wish to use power feed (usually only available on the x-axis) with the head tilted, for example to cut a keyway with a slitting saw or a deep slot on an angled surface. In effect, this combination of movements converts a vertical mill into a (rather flimsy) horizontal one.

Of course, there has to be enough room behind the mill to do this - mine hasn't, which is one reason I don't do it...

OK, I never thought of combining the two axes at the same time. As you say, it would be a little flimsy though.

Thanks,
