Extra Security Moving Rotary Table or Vise to Bridgeport Mill

The thought of having a heavy Accessory get away from you when transferring it to your mill is frightening to most of us. If you use a lift table to handle the chore, this idea may appeal to you.

I Installed two 3/8" diameter lag bolts with flat washers into the side of my lift table as shown. When the surfaces of the lift table and mill table are even, the lag bolt heads align with the .400" wide slot across the front of the Bridgeport table, and slide in place. This prevents the possibility of the lift table accidentally moving away from the mill during the transfer. They don't have to be tight -- they still hold the lift table securely in place.
