Multiple heads.

Almost any head will go on that.... You can put 2 heads on that base....

And two heads are better than one?

That one's been around for a while, probably good for parts? Must have been worked hard with that setup.

Always try to buy free range tooling!

Can't get $400 for it from the scrapper, and you may have to deliver it to them...

Look Dear, the rare and elusive two-headed Bridgeport bird in the wild!

If I had space I'd buy it for the handles and tables. But I don't....

I believe it was originally a "True Trace" a tracer mill. One head would follow the pattern of the object being traced with a stylus. The second head would cut the shape in new stock.
