    Rotate head

    Got this idea that I'd like to have the head of my new mini mill to rotate for angular work. No I don't expect to do much of it but want it anyway. Once saw a picture of one in a link but can't find it. Anybody have any ideas how to build one. I an using a Grizzly style mill head R8 spindle, rectangular column. Between the spindle head and "z" box I've mounted a three inch spacer. In that space I would like to have the stuff to make it tilt up to forty five degrees left and right. I have'nt got this thing all put together yet but I prefer to tram a head than the column. Any ideas guys.

    Yes, that's exactly the pictures I saw. How about the plan dwgs, willing to share them?. Sure like the design, fits the bill completely. Can you PM the plans, if you are willing. I will not duplicate exactly but will adapt to my mill configuration, what say you. Thank you in advance. Yep, you sure have some nice stuff Hoss.
