I picked up a neat and low hour Millrite Powermatic MVN mill. It is basically a 2/3 size Bridgeport without all the bells and whistles.
Here's a quick video from today after I finished adapting a Bridgeport type feed to the MVN.

I've been slowly adding a 3 axis DRO as well. As of right now I have all the sales mounted but X still needs the finished up. It came with a complete horizontal attachment which apparently is rare because I had a guy offer me more then I payed for the whole thing for it...lol
I had to pull the bed and saddle off to clear out one clogged oil passage and ha to get pics of the minty fresh ways.
I love the slightly smaller size compared to a Bridgeport for in my full garage and an engine crane lifts it so that's handy to move it.
This will be a very welcome machine to go with my SouthBend lathe.
