How much does that thing weigh? and how did you move it?
Finding a decent Bridgeport can be difficult.
I bought this one from a retired gentleman that refurbishes them.
He was all business, but the machine seems to be exactly as described. Very tight, smooth table operation, head has been rebuilt, phase converter installed, etc.
Any decent machine will cost $2000+ and that is without tooling.
You can find a nice machine with auto feeds, some tooling, etc for about $4500.
My budget was in between the two but the price was excellent for delivered to my shop and set in place.
Don and others,
any recommended tooling?
What do you recommend for a standard complement and any favorites that you can't live without?
I'll be making some trans parts with it, prototyping some stuff, general mill work, maybe some gunsmithing.
