I doubt that you would be able to fit a block between the spindle and the table let alone fitting a boring head and a angle fixture.I owned a smaller Van Norman many years ago and found it to be a handy machine,but not as practical as a Bridgeport type machine.The no.50 milling machine tooling is somewhat expensive unless you can find it second hand.I feel you would be happier with a Bridgport type mill.Phil
