No point to this thread, just curious. How many with metal lathes also have a mill? If you feel like it, how about pix of your mills and any modifications you've done to them.

When I bought my HF metal lathe the guy threw in the matching mill for free. Didn't argue with him but I've yet to try it out. It works fine though.

Are you kidding me? Did you make the deal out the back door? That's awesome.

Hey! Where is a picture 0f your "Tower Of Power"? The one that's world famous for making tail stock DRO pieces.
I have one....I keep it in my buddies garage/shop :biggrin: sorry I don't have pictures of it. Maybe I can get my buddy to post some for me :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

I have a metal lathe and am considering a mill. I would be interested to know what folks use them for.
I have a Grizzly G0484.
An oldie but goldie. Bridgeport 9 x 42. And only paid $700.00 for it with kurt vise on a rotary base.

This thread got long fast.

I use it a lot for accessory tooling I need to make and for some special effects I want to put on barrels and finials, and, whatever. I also use it sometimes to hog down Damascus to a shape suitable for turning.

Crap, I thought I did well. So essentially you bought a first class vice and got a Bridgeport for free:biggrin: MikeAn oldie but goldie. Bridgeport 9 x 42. And only paid $700.00 for it with kurt vise on a rotary base.
Yup, thats what I thought too. Gotta love Craigslist.
A little wear on the ways, but I can live with it. I picked up a 10 hp rotary converter and it powers mill, clausing engine lathe, and reid surface grinder. All Craigslist treasures.Gary, I've spent half my life dancing with one of those, and a few 9 x36, I hope the police don't show up at your door saying you stole the mill, but you got a great deal, if the machine was tight and not horse whipped. Kudos on a great deal.An oldie but goldie. Bridgeport 9 x 42. And only paid $700.00 for it with kurt vise on a rotary base.
