Turret vs bed type milling machine
I've never owned a mill but aspire to own one (like a few people on here). I'm fairly new to machining so excuse my ignor-anus query. I see that vertical milling machines come in turret ("Bridgeport") or bed mill configurations. If I were designing one from scratch I think the result would look like the bed mill, as rigidity would be a high priority.
But is it true that for a similar weight/spec machine the bed mill is more rigid or are appearances deceiving?
Do either type have any abilities that the other doesn't?
Thanks in advance,
Steve
