Just bought a ABC Bridgeport style mill.

Jeff,

Did you get the manuals too?

Some Wells-Index ones are available here: http://vintagemachinery.org/mfgIndex/detail.aspx?id=2280&tab=3
...but I don't know enough about your mill to say if it's one of them.....

How much of this matches you ABC?

I didn't get the manuals. They took my info in case they find it. They said their dad didn't throw anything away. They found paperwork for the Carolina bandsaw but not the mill, lathe, or surface grinder yet.

Thanks. It's similar but mine has more stuff on the left size of the head and the colimn is shaped different.

On a side note, i wiped down the ways and they are looking good so far.

Good job on the machine purchases. It looks like you hit the jackpot.

Had a little helper yesterday. Working on cleaning the mill. The outside looks pretty good, the inside well, that's going to take a lot more work.

You really got the outside clean, what's in the squirt bottle?

Total Clean. It's like purple power. Got it at Wal-Mart.

Got the gunk out of the head for the most part. It's good enough for who it's for lol. Now to get the innards all spiffy and put back before i forget where they go!

The lower part of the head is all back together and looking spiffy. Now on to the upper part to finish the job.
