Very nice and careful work. However one thing I'd like to point out is
Bridgeport (unless they've changed their machines and policy) says NOT to use the threaded hole in the top of the ram to move the machine. We were told this is only used to lift the ram. Instead use a strap under the ram (they used to balance perfectly at that point) on the side nearest the table and your forks over head. Heck, if you've got a nice fork lift like that, why not flaunt it. Dennis in nca |
