    Great video; really like the 'spindle-eye' view. Edge clamping might be more beneficial on small machine, securing parts where width gets limited fast.

    Too few shops run horizontal mills, even with a fixed [non quill] spindle. Hate to guess how many hours spent over the years I've spent monkeying to set-up vertical mills when long parts need to hang over edge of table.

    That stretched the hell out of the "home made" envelope. Great idea if you live in a large well equipped machine shop.

    If you can't make it precise make it adjustable.
