This is a project I've been working on for awhile, affectionately known as the "boat anchor." When I bought it, all I heard was Bridgeport. Had I known more, I would have walked away but I'm too far down the road now. I'm putting in new screws and nuts and bearings where needed. At present I'm scraping new gibs flat. I now know the difference between an M Head and a J Head. I caution all to read and get as much information before you make an expensive purchase. I have foregone scraping the ways. I have the knowledge but the expenditure in precision measuring tools would be prohibitive. This mill will be a hugh upgrade in my milling capabilities. At present, I have an upright milling vise on my Atlas Mill. I would be interested in anyone else undertaking a similar "folly."
