Saddle is off the Bridgeport. The chrome ways look great. The knee is full of swarf and chips.
With the table off, I can get a closer look at the saddle.

The ways under the table are definitely worn.
The ways under the table are definitely worn. I won’t be doing much more than cleaning and stoning them.
And so it begins.
And so it begins. I got the table off the mill and pulled the X axis screw. There’s wear in the screw, but not much. There is some scoring on one side of the ways, but I don’t think this will be a major issue.

I bought this Series I Bridgeport back in April as a “project.” The motor shaft was damaged and it needs some other things done to it before I can use it. I put together a short video going over the mill and what all I need to correct.

Part of our trip to Ouray Colorado was to take our Jeeps over Black Bear Pass.
Part of our trip to Colorado was to take our Jeeps over Black Bear Pass. I wanted to make something as a memento of the trip by creating this steel replica of the summit marker and chemically rusting it. I made a short video on how I did this that you can see by clicking the link in my bio and then the image of the sign replica.

Picked up this Kennedy 11 drawer tool chest off CL last weekend.
Picked up this Kennedy 11 drawer tool chest off CL last weekend. It’s not in perfect shape, a little rust here and there. But still a steal at $55 for it. I do like the thin drawers on these, but I’d never pay full price for them. The current version of this tool box with improved drawer slides is $650+ 😳
