Frankenmill: Bridgeport J head onto Victoria U2

[Pete O]

Yep the 'fanny' here is located somewhat anterior to where it is in the U.S. and is restricted by gender. I think the term is outdated now though.

Would powder coating work on fibreglass? I know very little about it. And don't tempt me to buy even more stuff!

I've been ruminating over the ram dovetails issue and I think I will leave it be and just apply some EP grease on assembly. I think that moving it all the way out will be very infrequent and can be dealt with when the need arises. Hopefully at a future time (?retirement) I'll be stripping the base machine down and if needs be I'll make modifications then. The work I've done here is enough for a while I think, I've got a few details to paint and then basically put it together and use it. None too soon!
