New Milling Machine in the house

I picked up a 9''x42'' Bridgeport this weekend. I had to borrow a few dollars from the Boss and promised to pay her back by the end of the month. I sold a few Zumas and a lathe. Well worth it.
And I got a free CH80 to boot
Thanks to my recent forklift I bought unloading was a breeze!
It took about an hour rolling the mill on steel pipes to get it to the back of the shop. My forklift does not fit in there!
Now I need to wire a phase converter up so I can run this beast.

Nice
PNW area with a fab shop to the east and dyno to the south is looking rich for scooter developments.

Scooter discounts are always generous. The biggest problem is the lack of time I have. I run a construction company and stay really busy. I am trying to figure out how to get more hours in a day.... Next project, a time machine.
I can shave heads all day, just tell me how many thousandths and send them to me.

Thanks Ped,
It has taken a few years, it all started with a 12v cordless drill then a grinder, then a drill press. I am 28 now, I hope by the time I am 50 I will have a 40x80 shop filled.
