Riser for the mill

[pacifica]

installed a 7" riser on the Bridgeport. then retrammed it. no more hunching over.View attachment 327918View attachment 327919View attachment 327920View attachment 327921View attachment 327922

A question: Does it have any affect on the rigidity of the mill. Say with a 2" face mill or boring head?

I don't know yet.I would assume it would to some extent. got it installed then had to go out of town for work

I can't say I noticed any difference in rigidity. Its a pretty large bearing area, and can't imagine stretching the 4 bolts holding it together,

I sure wish I had room for a riser on my mill. The top of the mill is only 2 inches below the ceiling.
