Newport knee mill info?

[Investigator]

I have found a Newport mill for sale semi locally to me. Doesn't look like the owner has any real info about it other than saying it's a B'port clone. Just looking at pictures it appears to be 9x42 or maybe a l bigger.

Does anyone have any info on this brand?

OT -looks like a Bridgeport

anyone know anything about a Newport mill, looks just like a Bridgeport .i was wondering if the parts were interchangeable. where were they made , any good ?

Looks like mine for the most part. Mine's badged ABC. It was made in the early 80s in Taiwan. If Newports were as well i would think it would be pretty decent if it's not wore out and the money was right.

Good luck

Thanks, any idea on how close a copy they are, or at least yours is? Wondering about parts availability and interchangeability. The one I'm looking at looks a lil rough.

Just bought a ABC Bridgeport style mill.

Hey guys, I've been using a little Rockwell horizontal vertical combo Mill in my home shop for years. I went out to look at a metal lathe and ended up swinging a deal on this machine. The lathe that I bought is Webb Takisawa. I know on that machine it was made by takisawa and imported under...
