New poster here. Interested in a Van Norman 22L that is for sale not too far from me. Looking to replace my Chinese mill/drill with something more ridged/larger work envelop and felt this was a great option since it can be converted from a vertical to horizontal mill quite easily/quickly. Looks to have all the necessary arbor supports and might even have the 50 taper. Guy said it was originally a government machine that was rebuilt and then never used. I have heard the VN might be a little limited in the knee travel, but not sure on the 22L. It would be cool to fit it with a BP J head and a DRO too if at all possible. Thanks in advance for any info/advice.
