Hi all, this is my first post. I recently mounted my mini mill onto a 1/2" thick steel plate thats bolted to an antique cast iron sink pedastal. I wanted to fix the column to the steel plate for added rigidity and these old cummins engine brackets in my parts bin caught my eye. They are cast iron, 10" tall and 1.5" thick at the thinnest area. The base of them curves out to clear the mill base bolt tabs, and they clear the head and coarse wheel for the full travel.
 
That looks great. I have to think that all of that Cast Iron and steel will add to the rigidity of the setup.
 
The only modification required to the brackets is on the left side where the column isnt as wide the bracket needs a very small amount ground off the base to clear, and the mills only modification is drilling the bolt holes.
 
The brackets can be ordered through any mopar part supplier and run about 22 bucks each. I've been dying to share this since I found how they fit like they were made for it.
