When I picked up my Southbend lathe (see the welcome thread) the guy wanted me to take an old Bridgeport mill he had. It was either that or he would have sold it for scrap. I was reluctant at first but eventually the price was too good to turn down. We had a white knuckle ride home with the lathe and the mill on my trailer but it had a happy ending.
It has the M type head.
So now some pics:
Still on the trailer...
Serial number has it made in 1948.
The left side does have some wear. We took the cross slide off to move it inside the shop.
The power feed runs but doesn't move the slide.
Here it is at home:
It has a M2 taper. I think I can fix it up well enough to make it worth the $250 I spent on it. Are there any rebuild manuals available?
