Cool site, thanks for the link.

Why does that Bridgeport machine weigh 2400 pounds? That seems excessive,
but then again I don't do metalwork.

And I'm going to guess by the cabbage palms, flat neighborhood and solidly
constructed garage that you are a fellow Florida resident.

Why does that Bridgeport machine weigh 2400?

Large machine tools can easily weigh close to10x that number.
