[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 615670, member: 25383"] another good post! I have a job waiting for me to get to where a guy used a drill and tap setup for milling. Wiped out the bearings and damaged the spindle itself. This spring I'll rebuild it for him, and fully expect to do it again in three or four years as he's hard headed. Even the much loved Bridge Port is only good for so much side pressure from a milling operation. Not a big deal till you get into slab cutters that use carbide inserts. Yet a typical carbide end mill will still be OK. The best Bridge Port clone for using a small slab cutter (4") is the one from Willis Machine. The quill is much larger and uses better tool holders (Ericson #40's) gary [/QUOTE]
