7061 forum posts 719 photos	Could the Swiss Aciera mill on the cover of MEW 171 be an example of your definition? However, it appears that some dyslexia has crept in and the machine is labelled as an Aceria both on the cover and in Roger Trewinnard's Re-furbishing article commencing on page 40. I could be hopelessly incorrect but lathes.co.uk does not list Aceria. The table is able to rotate laterally to 45deg; swivel 30 deg. off the horizontal and the head swivels 90 deg. in either direction. This is the same issue where a certain Mr Johnston gives us his Experiences with a Tormach CNC Vertical Mill!! Wot? Good grief, it wasn't me guv, honest, I must be the victim of identity theft! I guess the Aciera, and the similar Deckel and others would be regarded as universal, and probably a bit more. But that raises a philosophical question; what, if anything, is outside the known universe? Very nice machines, and very versatile, but probably too small for a hacker like me, and definitely too expensive! Regards, Andrew

558 forum posts 28 photos	mgj and Nicholas Thank you for your responses. I will stop worrying about everything being in alignment now. When I get home form work I shall see how many degrees one turn of the hand wheel equates to. From memory I think it is 4 but can't say for sure until I check it at home. John
