INHO hydraulic tracer mills are a real waste of money.

I had a class a few years ago where the instructor brought in a home made
attachment that allowed us to use a standard Bridgeport as a tracer mill.

The components for this unit could be built for any mill right on the mill
it will be used on. Excluding the short amoount of time it would take to
machine the components, the unit would cost less than $50 to build.
