 Topic: Son has one of his Bridgeport mills 4sale
Posted: 14 Feb 2023 at 1:43pm |
Bridgeport J head variable speed millhttps://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/428068029485285/?rid=10218892840310649&ad_id&rt=1&refID=0&refType=0&referral_code=commerce_attachment This is a variable speed mill. Unit runs good, but needs the drive belt and bed screws replaced. It was one of my main daily use machines in my shop, but I fell behind on maintenance due to lack of time. It is a 4500 mill that needs a $130 belt, and $800 worth of bed screws, and some time invested. Price reflects this fact. Bed and dove-tail rails are very clean. Vice DOES NOT go with unit.
$2700/bo Hastings, MN Location is approximate

Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do? You stop drinking and get off the carousel.

A LOT of mill for the price, really fair, just too far away.

Thanks for putting up the picture - some day I will learn how to do it as my old way seems to fail . Add says Hastings MN but mill is located in West Concord MN where his new shop and other buildings are located .
Son has 7 mills now and since he is moving from my shop to his new place he doesn't need to keep machines in 2 places . Seems he bought 3 Miller 304 welders a while back I picked up for him up near Brainard MN and he now has them in his new shop , so I might get mine back that he has used for the last 20 years . Told him it needs to be cleaned up before he abandons it here .
He said he is going to put my Mill back in working condition as seems mine has been parts donor for a couple of his machines . I guess I get to keep my 9" South Bend lathe and my Nichimori 14" gap bed lathe but need to move them into lower shop .
Mentioned heating my shop is costing him to much as insulation is kind of poor compared to his larger shop down in new location . Then also he has a paint booth down there so should be easier to heat that area than what he is using here now .
