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.
Using the installation tool I made for the Bridgeport, I got the quill housing back on the ram adapter.
Using the installation tool I made for the Bridgeport, I got the quill housing back on the ram adapter. Hindsight being 20/20, I would have done this a little differently, but I am happy how it turned out. The tool was a must have for me. Plus, I needed to make a couple spacers on the lathe. Check the link in my bio for a video I made showing how I did this.

I recently bought a Bridgeport vertical mill that is in need of some work and repairs. The milling head was not attached to the base. I wanted to get it put back on, but it weighs over 100 pounds (without the motor) and the bolts are tricky to line up. I have seen other videos from Mr. Pete and H&W Machine where they used a special tool to make removing and installing the head much easier. I decided to make my own version of the tool.
