A really solid base for the X axis slide! I'm not sure what this
machine was, but
it doesn't look like either a manual bridgeport or a Series I CNC,
either.
I'm wondering if it was built up on a Tru-trace base. The leadscrew
arrangement
(especially the X axis) is definitely not like what has been used on the
BOSS
series machines. But, it looks like a very good conversion, and the
full support
of the table should make it a much better machine that a standard
Bridgeport.
Too bad it is so far from me.
