Mill table for 100 year old 9in lathe?
So I have a very old 9” BF Barnes lathe with a motor added onto it. I have successfully upgraded the tool post to use quick change tools, and while I’m getting some good use out of it, I have the need for light milling work, yet I don’t have any more room for tools (also worry about weight capacity in my garage), so I can’t exactly go out and just buy a big old milling machine. So my only easily accessible option is to get a milling table insert. And I’m wondering how universal are they? Will any on the market fit my machine or am I up the creek without a paddle?
