My channel is devoted to the wonderful world of MACHINE SHOP! I have about 950 video demonstrations on the Bridgeport mill & South Bend, Atlas, Clausing, and...www.youtube.com
They're called a Skyhook - I have one and love it, even made some dovetail attachments around the shop to use it in more places than just the mill/lathe.. They are pricey ever since Abom showed it off. The retiree I got mine from said he think he had spent like 250$ on his and the price went nuts after youtube acclaim..Yes, 1200 bucks +/- but I am not getting any younger and my back is worth it..... it looks to be awesome in small spaces as well.
Thank you Dabbler, I plane to check that out and maybe build one....Here's Mr Pete's sky crane build video:
It seems like the Sky Hook attached to the compound would cause a lot of stress to the compound and cross slide.
I was thinking about using the 2 bolts that attach my follow rest.I'm concerned about this as well, but I've heard no complaints.
