get a mill....they are all the same chinesium at the lower price. PM and Bolton have good deals. But you can snag a J head bridgeport clone for about 1000 bucks anywhere these days.

They are transferable, Frank bought every last one of them.

Even my weeds are dying....az is no joke :( Better luck next year lol.

If this works, you are my hero....will report back.

Does anyone have part numbers for the 2 air cylinders that bolt onto the rails? {Bullet Knockers}
