    Am I seeing things?

    Is that a shaper crossed with bridgeport mill?

    Girl, I don't wanna know about your mild-mannered alter ego or anything like that." I mean, you tell me you're, uh, super-mega-ultra-lightning babe? That's all right with me. I'm good. I'm good.

    It makes sense now!
    I looked at that very mill really late last night and while something didn't look right, the full gravity of what I was looking at didn't reqister.
    Thanks but no thanks I'm thinking.

    Hi Guys,

    Certainly a franken machine if nothing else. A bit expensive if you just wanted the Bridgie head.

    It could have been so much better though. Could have set it up like a Deckel FP1. Just add a lead screw to to the shapers ram and disconnect the crank assembly and you have all three axis with autofeed on the Y.
