Yeah - he charges around £300, which is almost as much as my mill cost.

I had half an idea about using a piece of 20mm thick plate to do something similar

it came like that @julianthegypsy will know more but it has the stiffing mod to stop the colum rotating, it has a lever for the front/back slide to lock it rather than the thumb screws it also has a lever to lock the main shaft up/down movement too, along with the dro that needs work though there is a led cob ring above the chuck again not wired up yet and I think that is it
