I see the probe stylus unit and the control lines- but why the two powerheads? Wouldn't one stylus and one powerhead do the trace and cutting?
I'm missing something there

These were before NC and CNC mills. Production...cut two parts at the same time.I see the probe stylus unit and the control lines- but why the two powerheads? Wouldn't one stylus and one powerhead do the trace and cutting?

The two-head unit on the left is drivenb by servos and many were converted to NC mills. The one on the right has a hydraulic table and can only be used as a tracer. No screws to move the bed.Never have seen one of these in action - taken from Tony UK's lathe page on Bridgeports.
