Mill TYPE ??

Post by wally318 »

I present this question only for posterity's sake or information gathering.
35v years ago or so I remember seeing in a Thomas skinner catalog:
A type of mill drill branded First.
It had a Bridgeport style head and a round column 5 or 6 inches dia.
No ram or knee. Basically a mill drill w/larger base/table and column.
with a bridgeport head that could tilt side/side and possibly nod.
What I'd like to know is what that type of mill is called and were
there other Brands that made them?
