More from MarcelloRupelli
Marcello using a Bridgeport mill to cross-drill a brake rotor. Slightly anachronistic, since that's an end mill in the spindle, not a drill bit. I did this in early '99.
Aerofox brought this up the other day in a comment and I realised it's not really posted online anymore. My style and skills have changed some since then, but I still think it's kind of a neat piece, so here it is.

The Furry Industrial Revolution? I like that. But what if the Furry Luddittes show up and set my art on fire? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite
We've got one at work, an EZ-Trak or whatever they call it. It mostly gets used as an automated drill press. I'd love to have access to a nice vertical milling center. Still a ton of work in programming, part fixturing and stuff, but you can make some really cool parts. Marcello seems pretty happy with his manual mill. With the rotary table on there, you can do some really neat stuff, which he will eventually in the comic.
*NODS* My boss was a machinist for 20 years before being a director of engineering and he's given me a great education in fixturing and machining techniques. To me, the one peice of equipment I can use the most right now would be a cnc plasma cutter and a CNC router. Most all of the machining I currently do is on an engine lathe and a small manual mill/drill (rongfu style).
Thanks! I'm glad you like it. I had to post it after your comment about it :D
Too bad it's not yours, these things are great to have around. Like I said in a comment above, they're like an old friend. I've spend countless hours turning handles on Bridgeports, turning chunks of metal into millions of tiny chips. And often unrecognizable scrap

This is great! At my first machine shop job I actually used to use a bridgeport that looked exactly like that. Only difference was the DRO was a light blue instead of black. Used them for about a year at my new job until they promoted the guy who ran the Hurco to engineering and had him train me how to run the CNC machine instead.
