Hi, I'm new to the group. I am venturing over from the rec.ww and
owwm. I recently got a Bridgeport knee mill at auction. It has a
round ram and short table and I have no clue what type of head it has
on it.

I am very comfortable restoring woodworking machinery and I own a 9"
southbend.
However, I am unfamiliar with Bridgeport's. Would you mine helping
me out
with the following pics and q's?

To unload it I took apart the motor from the head, the head from the
ram, and the ram from the turret.

Here is a pic of the head without motor:

Here is another pic of the head highlighting a small nub of broken
casting. What was this piece?:


Looks like where the depth stop was located. This is typically a threaded
rod with round nut and locknut.

You can't 'idiot proof' anything....every time you try, they just make
better idiots.
