Well that was the only J head I know of but whats it doing on a jig grinder lol
It still has the grinding spindle?
Sounds interesting.
Pictures please when you get the chance and any name plates on the machine if you can.

But if it has a large circular handle for the Z.... how can it be gone.........unless you mean Z as in the column(not Z as in power feed for grinding)
I mean the big black handle around 6 in this pdf. You mean a handle down on the base?

They'd want to go easy on it as a mill.. there is nothing holding the table down other than the leadscrew nut and gravity........but I guess the tables pretty heavy, I'm yet to take it off.

Thank you. No hurry I'm not actually working on the machine ATM.

Z as in the column Stu. I have warned the owner about milling with it, it can't be worse than the belt drive round column machine he has though, i hope anyway. The handwheels are geared so much i doubt you could feed the table fast enough for milling anyway!
