Default Bridgeport Mill - adjusting backlash

I uploaded a photo essay on how to adjust the backlash on a Bridgeport
milling machine and how to remove and split the feed screw nuts on
older Bridgeport mills in order to accomplish this.

The file is :
Bridgeport Milling Machine - Splitting the feed screw nuts and
adjusting backlash.doc
.... about 7 Mb because of the photos.


And a waste of time uploading because the dropbox automatically
rejects ".doc" files because of the possibility of macro viruses. If
you want to put everything in a single file instead of simply uploading
a bunch of files which start the same, print it into a ".pdf" file
instead.

And also -- be warned that your file name *will* be modified
automatically because of the serious pain that embedded spaces in
filenames can be on some systems. (Not everybody runs Windows, or even
a GUI file manager -- so the spaces in the names are replaced with
underscores '_', so the name will look like this instead:

Bridgeport_Milling_Machine_-_Splitting_the_feed_screw_nuts_and_adjusting_backl ash.doc

In particular -- the "_-_" looks ugly, and would be better as
"-" instead.

Why not try for a shorter filename while you are about it, such
as:

Bridgeport-Splitting-feed-nuts.pdf

Thanks for trying.

Enjoy,
DoN.
