I finally got around to writing up my experiences moving a Bridgeport
mill last October. It adds to the excellent one that Richard Kinch
did when he moved his. We had quite a discussion regarding what was
safe and what wasn't, with some disagreements among some who had done
it different ways.

The URL was broken so I fixed it.


Topics covered.
A photo essay describing the equipment needed to move a Bridgeport
milling machine,
One safe way of strapping the machine onto a trailer
How to lift it off the trailer
HOW TO GET A WIDE TABLE THROUGH A NARROW DOOR
Photos from the web of other people's moving experiences.

Well done, sir.


I uploaded the files Saturday AM, so I don't know when they'll
actually appear.

It's up now, 2:31PDT.
