I was using someone else's Bridgeport and couldn't tie the machine up for long. and the leveling wasn't level, so I gave up in mid job. Same thing on a grinding table except you have magnetism pulling for you.

hold downs through the spark plug holes and 123 or parallels on the machined head bolt surface
