Well looks like my timing was lucky this time. A older gentleman about 40 miles away had 2 small Bridgeport’s for sale. One runs the other needs some work. Bought both. Figured I’d use the non running machine for parts and sell the rest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Subroc, I too want a Bridgeport more than any other machine. Like you I don’t really have the time or frankly the expertise to undertake a complete overhaul right now. I had a machinist buddy look at it and he was not optimistic at all. So I passed. The owner is gonna scrap it. He was cool...

Well we looked at the mill and it’s junk. They didn’t coat it with oil before it was put outside under a tarp. Everything is rusted beyond repair. Not worth the time to try and fix. The table is pitted and the screws are crunchy. It’s worth about 65 bucks in scrap. That won’t cover fuel...

I’d use green board for any areas that you are concerned with moisture. We never use regular drywall in moisture prone areas Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks guys. I’m in NC and the machine is in a little town just over the SC line about 50 miles away. I’ve got access to some rigging equipment and have a good friend that was an industrial maintenance engineer for a local mining company. I’m gonna drag him a long and peel back the onion and...

Ok Ive got a line an old full size all manual Bridgeport. (They needed room for 3 5-axis machines) I can have it for the hassle of loading it and getting it out of the way. Problem is has been sitting behind the machine shop outdoors for about 3 years. It was sprayed with liquid grease when it...
