JD and Bill,
I'm not following you--rotate the head 180 degrees about which axis?

Looked at the 935 manual and now I understand what you were suggesting. That doesn't look like it would work for the 835, as you note the head and swivel are the same as the bigger machine, but the column attachment is different.Sorry about that. I was suggesting that you rotate the ram 180 degrees, so that the head is on the opposite side of the base from the table/knee. But then I just did a close-up look at the pics above and the ram won't swivel on the base like it does on the larger mill! I apologize for attempting to give bad information.
