Hello, everyone,
I own a Burke #4 milling machine, probably from the 50's or so. It is a horizontal mill with an overarm support and the factory provided a vertical head for it. My machine did not come with a vertical head and I am not sure I really need one, for the kind of use I get out of the machine.
This past week, someone offered me a Bridgeport M-head. It needs some work to make it completely usable, but I am not averse to a little project, even if I am not too familiar with the Bridgeport family of products.
How can I adapt this M-head to mount to my Burke's overarm support? Please provide as much detail as possible, as this will be my first adventure with this adaptation.
Thank you.
Andrei
