I am back to wanting to put a power feed on my mill.
The problem is that the one that Matt sells for this mill is something like $500.00.
He says it looks just like the ones for small mill in that it sticks off the end, rather than hanging down like they do on big mills. He also said the inexpensive ones he sells do not fit this mill.
Enco has this one

Which with coupons is only $208.00, cheap enough to buy rather than cobble together one from misc stuff from Ebay.
I was wondering if any one has any experience making this style power feed fit on a mill that it does not actually fit on. I assume I will have to cut part of the end of it off, and fabricate brackets and mounting. The lead screw on my mill is much lower than on a comparable sized mill. It is similar to the Grizzly Go722 but has a gear head and weighs a lot more

There is also another discrepancy with the unit. The link above says 1 - 27 in/min.
but the catalogue says it is 1 - 9 in/min which seems a bit slow.
The website and catalogue also list different power ratings.
