Just bought a ABC Bridgeport style mill.

Cleaned my nuts and laid some pipe. Lol ..yep, both x and y axis nuts and new tubing for the one shot oiler.

It rained today and was like 60 degrees and hard to get in the garage because crap I normally keep outside was put in the garage so they didn't get wet. I was able to squeeze thru and do a 8 buck improvement to the servo powerfeed

The rain is supposed to stop tomorrow, then it's back to normal...

Where did you find the black cap to replace the rubber and hose clamp?!

I found several places online, but about the cheapest I found once I included shipping was H&W Machinery Repair. They have a bunch of videos online where Barry does repairs and disassembly of Bridgeport.

Not a lot of progress on the mill this week. Got it mounted on leveling feet and mounted the DRO display...oh, and most importantly, i refilled the shop mini fridge...

Nice job on the cleanup and repipe.
Looks a lot better than it did when purchased.

Just saw this thread. Congrats sir thats one good looking mill. Almost as nice as mine haha ! ! Ok Ok - I’ll go with equally as nice. Very rare to come across these manual BP knee mills that aren’t completely thrashed and abused, or repainted junk.
I like your leveling feet also. I did the same thing with the cross bars but used 2”sq tube only because it was on hand at the time. I like yours with the flat bars better since they don’t raise it as much.

Fluid film to keep it from rusting again...
