Lathe & Mill union

[Jarheaded]

Does anyone have any ideas on how I would attach a sherwood mini mill to a Rikon mini lathe so I can use it sort of like an ornamental lathe? I want to be able to seperate them if I need to also, but most likely won't. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

If you are just going to use it for 'dimpling', or ole drilling onan indexed pattern, should be easy. To use it for anything along the axis of the mandrel, you will need to figure out a carriage of some sort, like a metal lathe. Not impossible, but a good undertaking.
