Just picked up the Bridgeport mill we bought a few weeks ago. We actually bought it with the lathe but it was in use so we had to wait till they got their new one in. I couldn't believe how much it weighs, it's heavier than a full trailer load of Horses.

Lathe done just in time to do the mill, I would love to have the space for this kind of setup. But I have a neighbor with all these toys that helps me out with the little bit I need.
It will be red by next week.

:clap

Looking good Geno! Nice mill and Kurt vise to boot. Congrats.

I hear you on the weight. That's the reason I don't have a Bridgie. My shop is in my basement, I have no idea how I would get it down there. My Grizzly table top mill weighs in at 650 lbs and that was tough enough.

Hopefully this one will go a little quicker. I ordered a 3 phase converter today and will be picking up everything needed to bore, deck, mill, and true up everything on an engine this week. :)

Can't have rust.  :nono

Most of it is stripped. It's about wore me out, I think I'll take a break and go enjoy some quality tractor time mowing. :)
