Take this from EXPERIENCE: Just because a machine LOOKS identical,it definitely does NOT mean that the parts are the same. I have had exactly that problem with an Enco turret mill no longer offered by them. It looked identical to a Grizzly. I wasted money buying parts that were not AT ALL similar to the parts needed by my mill. Ended up selling it to someone with more energy. I have a Bridgeport type anyway. This smaller mill was to set up a maintenance shop when my wife was renting a shop far from home. She makes jewelry. I sometimes help make master models,and also make her tooling. She did not stay at the rented shop anyway,turned out.
