Nice freebie? Top end of a small milling machine

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look at what the CNC folks are doing!

As to its purpose... at present my milling facilities (apart from the pretty basic machine at work) are on the lathe and involve taking off the topslide, bolting it to an angle plate on the cross-slide (t-slotted) and bolting a vice on the front - not too rigid, and a right faff to set up!
I don't imagine taking hefty hogging cuts, as the mill head won't be up to it (I assume), most of its work will be in ally making bits for motorbikes and air-rifles etc. (my/SWMBO's hobby and my son's respectively). Of course, it'll also be making tools to make tools to make tools... :D
