Well, I CNC'd a very old Bridgeport round-ram made in about 1938.
I did it all with surplus parts, which is the hard way to go, but was a lot
cheaper. Of course, all these great net resources were not available
at that time, almost 10 years ago. I also upgraded the mill's old M head
with a 1J head.
