    Bridgeport M Head any info?

    Nice find. I have a J-Head on a "pallet", that I "move around" on a pallet jack.

    Nice catch on the 20 incher :thumbup:… boy, those hinges look oogly … I am anxiously awaiting how you handle those ... You don't really need a pulley calculator … to a first order, the speed reduction (or increase) is directly proportional to the ratio of the pulley diameters … to be more...
