Also no Y hand wheel, no quill feed lever, extraneous levers on the left hand end of the table, 2 motors, no method to clamp anything in said oval carbuncle on the table, no ways for the knee or the Y axis etc etcI want it to be real, but it has a oval shaped rotary table on the bed

Not totally right - later US horse drawn wagons had the driver on the right while driving on the right to see the drainage ditch at the side of the road and so not fall into it. Early cars, simply being horse-less, followed the same principle - early US cars until 1910/15 were RHD. For some reason, old Henry, put the driver of the Model T on the left - and as the T become so popular, the rest of the manufacturers followed suit.We drive on the left, because you mount (and tack up) your horse from the left, and it keeps your sword arm ready for oncoming bandits.
Now, I’ve seen Yellowstone, and they seem to mount from the left as well. Why they drive on the right is something to do with wagon drivers sitting on the left-hand horse, for whatever reason.
Napoleon apparently mandated driving on the right, be we didn’t comply because… we don’t follow the French. It’s in the Magna Carta

This was from a few years ago, Bruce, a cabinet maker and fan of Wadkin woodworking machines created this.
I bought a large Wadkin table saw off of him, not the one above
He was born with one hand, but it hasn't held him back, he creates beautiful furniture and renovates all his own machines. lovely chap. I believe he painted the one above pink for a bit of fun. http://www.brucekenneth.co.uk/about/

But they could also be on the left and look at the left drainage ditch. The AI search (staying relevant-ish to the thread) says the US wagon drivers sat on the left horse so they could control the horses with their right hand.

My router table is a similar pink.
I needed it painted and I had pink in the gun, left over from a paying job.
I don't give a stuff what colour it is, but I didn't want it rusting, so it ended up pink.
I've got other workshop bits that are the colour that they are due to being painted off the back of paid jobs.

Wasn't the European Right/left thing something to do with Napoleon? Or was that an old wives tale? Something about him being a molly-dooker and forcing his men to march up the right side so his sword hand (left) was closer to the enemy?

The French aristocracy, showing uncharacteristic arrogance and insouciance (
)* would deliberately drive on the right, to force the commoners out of the way. Napoleon took that as the convention.* After the Revolution, these people were re-employed as Parisian waiters.

What’s the best way to paint all of your milling machine table and maintain accuracy?

Yeah, there's loads when you look properly and know what a bridgeport should look like, its just the oval rotab was the most obvious. The issue is that its almost believable but only people who actually know would spot it, which is the real trouble with AI, it just mashes things together and people assume its got it right because the hype has told them how good it is, but if you know the subject, you can see its actually just a dumb parrot that has zero understanding of what the subject is.
I used to have a neon pink ratty superdream at one point. It was my winter hack to keep my GS750 warm and safe in the shed when the weather was bad but it was in primer after the previous owner decided to pretty it up and rust was starting to break through. All I had was neon pink road marking paint that I could got free from work, so on it went. I took it for mot and we had a laugh and the lads at the bay drew graffiti all over it with black sharpie and instead of Honda we wrote Slug on the tank as badges.
I knocked about on it for winter & early spring, and then I swapped it for a mini. The new owner painted over the "art" because as I found out later he didnt have a full license, then plod stopped it the first time it went out, and the officer asked him why he'd painted the pink bike they'd been laughing at all winter and he got 9 points and a ban...

That's the underlying problem with AI, IMHO. There is no genuine intelligence. It can't actually think.
That's what it wants you to think. It's just lulling you into a false sense of security....

blame the french, napolean was a leftie,Technically they don’t. We drive on the “right” over here
Totally OT, which is normal for this forum, I was surprised when I found out how much of the world do drive on the left. It’s about 30% of countries.

Neither can the people who swallow all the hype without questioning the actual.
