Do you have both power feed and digital read outs on your Rockwell vertical mill? How did you fit it all on there?
 
Burtons attic didn't display his limit switches or a DRO. But he almost included every measurement i need for adapting an X power feed to my machine. I'll look at yours again 38 super. Thanks
 
Reuse the bridgeport adapter, cut off the ears and blend. You'll need to fab shaft adapters/extension and a means to machine keyway slots. I did not incorporate limit stops. Had thought of using the DRO scale mount but ran into clearance/attachment issues, brain hurt so I quit.
 
I used 1x1 aluminum angle to mount the DRO scales. 1x1.5 or 1x2 might give you the room to add limit switch. Make a clamp-on limit stop, saves machining. If I find a rem, will do the same on mine.
