The metering block for the Bridgeport mill. Spent some time cleaning all of these fitting and the main block. To replace this would be over $200 retail. I’d rather clean it.

The swarf inside the knee on this Bridgeport is nuts.
The swarf inside the knee on this Bridgeport is nuts. Has to be 6 inches or more deep. Cleaning this is going to be hazardous. 😂 I might need to find me some kevlar gloves. LOL!

The X-axis screw on the Bridgeport has about .008″ wear as measured between the end of the screw and the middle. I don’t know if that’s ok or I need to deal with this.
