@JonS: ?????????? ok...
Here's the machine sitting in the garage, ready to go. I have it sitting on a workbench I don't like (and is really too small) and will be building a workbench from scratch to incorporate a full support, drawers, and a work bench area at the tailstock end.
Compound mounted:
VFD controls. It has a belt from the motor to the spindle but only has two steps. Spindle speeds are 50-1300 and 100-2600.
With the mast adjusted up for maximum clearance to the table.
The milling head rotates around backwards to clear out the lathe area. It turns around 360 degress.
