BTW, whats wrong with a round column Bridgeport, anyway, that's what I got, however I have updated it with computer controls, I can let it do the grunt work, while I watch it, I don't have a tool rack, or changer, so if there is any drilling or tapping to do, I have to do one or the other manually. Mine has a 48" table, so I got plenty of room on it to have a couple of setups on at the same time. I just don't see how anyone could run even a go-kart, with out machine tools, man, ya get an idea, ya just do it. Near as I can figure from the serial numbers on mine, the base was made in 1939, and the J head was made in 1956, but it still does a good job. If you'll click on that first picture, then click again, you can blow it up, one time, and on the end cap you can see AJ DAVIS cast on it. Bob
