      Of course every machine tool has limitations, and a person should or must work within them. Trouble is there comes a point where the bar is set so low that what should be a joy becomes nothing but a frustration. Unfortunately there is no universal number for the correct height of the bar, you pays your money and makes your choice.

        Any round column milling machine or attachment is inferior to one with dovetail slides. They are often less rigid and a nuisance if you have to raise and lower the head as they are unlikely to move up or down without twisting out of position. Colin
