Perfect Craig, worked like a charm! Another one of those duhh moments for me! Thanks for rescuing me.
Ps - it was one of your posts I was after. Wanted to try and see if I can find a power feed that will fit my Bridgeport X - Axis and see if I can find anything even remotely close to the deal that you and @David_R8 found. I think I would have been all over that if I would have seen your posts earlier!
Anyway, thanks for the forum help.

VEVOR Power Feed X-Axis 150Lbs Torque,Power Feed Milling Machine 0-200PRM, Power Table Feed Mill 110V,for Bridgeport and Similar Knee Type Milling Machines | VEVOR CA
VEVOR Power Feed Milling Machine offers high efficiency, precision, low noise, and long-lasting durability with easy operation and wide compatibility for various mills.
Thanks Craig.
Still a lot more than $60 but closer than what I found at your old link and more importantly its available.
I see that they have a 450 in-lb version for $200. Given that my mill is a relatively big Bridgeport Clone, do you have any thoughts about how important the torque is?

I would definitely go for the higher torque version.
I didn't get mine for $60? When I saw one for $200 I jumped on it. Can't answer the torque question.
Ah, I see. I guess I misunderstood your earlier posts. I see this one is $60 off so maybe that's what I remember incorrectly.
OK. Any idea how well that will fit my BPort Clone?
And any tips on the X / Y issue from either of you?
Check this thread out....
I bought the cheapest Y axis power feed I could find for my milling machine.
I paid $160 tax in from Vevor Canada. https://vevor.ca/products/power-feed-y-axis-135lbs-200rpm-torque-for-bridgeport-type-milling-machine-110v?_pos=1&_sid=4b4240a60&_ss=r The kit was very complete and installed with no issues. It seems to work fine so far. Less than half the price I paid for...

Great stuff Craig. Lemme digest it. No sense reinventing the wheel.... LOL!
Hey @YYCHM & @David_R8 ,
Now that the $60 deal I thought was out there has vaporized, and after digesting the info on this subject, and being realistic about my needs, I think I am gunna put an x-axis power feed on hold for a while. There are other things I want to do that are much higher priority. I also think it's a bit too easy to make a mistake right now. Too much confusion among sellers over which axis is which - hard to believe a seller can't get that right!

Susquatch that $60 dollar deal was likely a dream or a figment of your imagination.
I think you may be right. I have found references to it, but nothing concrete.
No complaints though. I've had my fair share of deals. This one was just too good to be true.
I think you may be recalling my net cost after refund from Vevor.
Ah yes, that makes sense.
At any rate, that deal is now history. It will cost me 300 all in and I still don't know exactly what I would be getting for that.
I've moved that project quite a ways down the priority list.
Looking forward to see how you get on with this. I'm very happy with mine.

Or he’s thinking about the vfd‘s that were cheap a few months ago.
True, they were. But no. Somehow I got the impression that the power X-Axis was on sale for $60. I think David nailed it. Someplace he prolly said $60 and I thought he meant that was the price.
I should have known better. It was way too good to be true.
