Used to use Bridgeport lathes and mills at works---NIIIIICE!

its goin g to be like stepping up from my dellta 1x42 belt sander to the KMG or my HF 4x6 saaw and then the 14 inch roll in saw that i got (i sooon shouold have all my base tools )

guess that means i can stop looking for new tools right

Bridgeport is a cool machine. Congrats.

....for teh time being before the itch comes and we rationalize that we can be more productive , efficient and produce better adn nicer products.... as a justification to spend on what we desire

Have fun & stay Sharp..

Hey,

That´s a nice looking machine! Congratulations!

I worked my way through college running a Bridgeport and a Hardinge lathe. My old, crusty boss used to say, "Son, I´ve pretty much made one of everything there is to make.":laugh:

So I know you´ve got a list of projects that have been running around in your head over the last couple of years. What´s first to make?

If you need some enabling on tools to buy, a Digital Read Out on that machine would be very nice along with power feed. That´s the cool thing about Bridgeports, easy to upgrade.

Saludes,

Very nice, I want to see a wip of you moving it. Lol
