I have a 1976 Craft x mill drill 30
I do not use the machine much. I see Amazon has many to choose from for less money. $200.00
Has any one done this and what model of power feed did they use?
Thanks in advance

Re: Milling Machine Power Feed
The ones Busy Bee have, at least the ones I found, are for Bridgeport type machines. It won't fit your mill drill. You need to find one like this that clamps on the end of the table. https://www.shars.com/products/machiner ... et-machine. Grizzly have some but the price can still cause a nosebleed.

Many have made their own power feed for small mills with window motors.

Yep for other than Bridgeport's or there clones where it's a simple bolt on your stuck with what I think are far too high prices for what they are on the RF type mills. If I was going to make one? I'd start here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2YGstZ5lrg and watch the full build series.

Power feed on my Mill Drill, model SLGS purchased on Ebay, very happy with it.
The original power feed on the mill was too slow in rapid mode and retired it to my home made welding positioner.

I have made a power feed for my small milling machine which looks very similar to yours, see:
