Im betting that if you could post more info and pictures of the machines, tooling and the parts you need help with that you will get many good and a few great responses to help you out.....Maybe even figure a way to accomplish your goal using that the Bench mill of yours! So anyway the more info you can provide will Help Us to Help You much more Effectively.
 
i have a full manual machine shop in my garage..... What are you trying to figure out?

I think you are confusing Lapeer (near the Thumb) with Luna Pier down 75 near toledo.....Maybe?
 
Ok, 3 projects; one is a 4" angle plate that is bent, how do you attack this if no side is flat? I have a fly cutter if I can determine where to start. next is a plate of suppose to be 1060, 4 1/2 wide x 18"long 1'' thick. I need to make flat the blued side but the bottom in not flat and I dont have side clamps unless I san use wedges? I have a fly cutter and I draw filed it and it did some metal removal. and now the project I cant do myself but I want to learn; my anvil is ductile Iron, I have been running a file and got to the point that I have to remove more then a file and I need it flat. what done the two halves will fit together without any gaps. the anvil is 30= " tall and 170 ish lbs.

I made a 10" × 13" angle plate so that I could use my rotary table horizontally. I had to borrow another angle plate from my sons employer to mill mine. I couldn't think of a better way. It came out alright.
 
I only have a tablet top mill, a fly cutter, a level.
