How is the spindle powered - when the motor is in the base but the ram can move back and forth?
As the different makes seem so similar in concept - which one is the "original"?
How long does it take to refit and align the right angle table? Also it kinda looks a bit flexible without a front support.
OK Bridgeport parts are extremely expensive - will you need a second mortgage to repair/run a Deckel (and can you still buy parts for the older ones)?
And just how do you get your head round the fact that y=x and x=y if you also use a knee type mill on a daily basis?
Thanks.
