Woohoo, I now have (mostly) a milling machine
A friend has decided to sell his milling machine, a 1953 or so
Bridgeport Mill in mighty fine shape. I'm the proud (and rather astounded) owner of same. It's big. Real BIG! At about 1600lbs and 6.9' tall, it fits in my garage, sure, but what a footprint! Comes with about 80 endmills (some really cool ones too), a dividing head, a vice, hold-downs, full set of colletts, installation (he's a machinist and really knows his stuff), and a DC motor to replace the 3-phase motor - full torque at very low RPM, regulator included. I'm very happy :-) Now, a few projects......I have no time for this :-) James. |
