Bridgeport J head variable speed millListed in https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/109320039086048/" rel="nofollow - https://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 Seller information https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/profile/100002007924930/" rel="nofollow - https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/profile/100002007924930/?__tn__=%3C" rel="nofollow - - - https://scontent-msp1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.18172-1/171047_108162932593970_694442_o.jpg?stp=c410.98.1228.1229a_cp0_dst-jpg_s80x80&_nc_cat=111&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=7206a8&_nc_ohc=e74QTAOnjH8AX9cdIaj&_nc_ht=scontent-msp1-1.xx&oh=00_AfD0Nydpj8nWfzifEIkDog9-pORzwyY9ITcpyg76h0HGkg&oe=64136748" rel="nofollow - https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/profile/100002007924930/" rel="nofollow -

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 .
