It is time to bring my 1960s Bridgeport milling machine back to life! This is a 100% genuine clapped-out mill that I picked up about a year ago. I always hated the horrible white paint job someone did on this machine, so that needs to be fixed. There are also several worn, missing, or completely broken parts that all need attention. This isn't a full restoration, but more of a "rescue".
I first needed to remove all paint and body filler, which there was a lot of! Then I needed to install a new quill spring and make new cam ring pins, a new quill lock handle, and install new measuring indicators. Someone converted this mill to use grease instead of oil, which is blasphemous, so all oil lines needed to be fully replaced with ACTUAL oil in them.
I decided to not paint the mill at all and leave it completely bare metal. This matches the look of the tools in the rest of my shop and makes it easy for me to add paint later if I feel like it.
I took everything related to the axes apart, but I did not disassemble the head, as I wasn't planning on replacing any worn parts in it.
Overall, the mill is in an average condition and I think some bronze wear components will need to be replaced within the next 5-10 years depending on my usage.
I am not a machinist aiming for high levels of accuracy, so as long as the tool can get the job done, I am happy for now.

I still use an Adcock-Shipley Bridgeport regularly! It’s owned by my student rocketry team in university, not in a fantastic state but still going strong. We’ve only had it for a few years, I believe it was previously owned by a hospital but I’m not sure what they used it for. I’m also not sure exactly how old it is but we like to joke that it’s been around since before the Moon landings!

@@WesleyWestland my apprenticeship consisted of first year in training school then three years on the shop floor in different departments eg. lathes, milling,drilling and toolroom. At one point I was operating an early CNC Bridgeport,producing the faceplate for the variable speed Bridgeport head. It was converted to cnc by a company called MOOG. The command centre was a punch hole reel to reel loop paper tape. No automatic tool changers in them days. Two workstations on the jig and the spindle had a quick change tool holder similar to a chuck and key. All tools were preset. It ran 16 hours a day,5 days a week without a single problem. Also produced a beautifully presented,boxed up,boring head attachment specifically designed to enhance the versatility of the Bridgeport.

@@WesleyWestland Yes Wesley , that is the part you described. You never know, it maybe a part that I produced. The Bridgeport was so versatile that they were sold worldwide. Talking about early years CNC machinery, on the shop floor, we had 3 auto lathes that produced the collet tool holders for the Bridgeport head. The lathes were made by a company called Ward, based in Coventry England. The command and control centre was a plugboard, similar too an old fashioned telephone exchange. Just feed the it steel bars and away it went.

Removing chips from the sides of the table was always a hassle for me even with a vacuum. I made a custom fit tray with a lift handle out of perforated steel to fit that space. I could easily lift the chips out! The hole you identify is threaded, not for chip removal, but for attachment of a lubricant drain tube. Makes that chip removal tray even more efficacious!

I find it difficult to criticize a person with as many KZfaq views as you do. That said - I love to watch your videos. I see how you work and your knowledge. What I don't like is bigger nuts, bolts, and screws......! They should be replaced. Now all the above is on your rescue projects. I was pleased to see you rescuing the tools the do the work. I would think you would make them "perfict" showing appreciation and the respect they deserve. It was also an opportunity for you to show your viewers your skills level. Thank you for your videos.

The Bridgeport factory on Lindley Street was very familiar to me as I drove by it for many years. My best friend's father was Magnus's nephew, I believe--a man referred to as a trouble-shooter for the company after it was sold to Textron. As boy scouts he brought the troop to the facility and showed us the rows of machines in production. There was also a museum-like room that had a series of machines, I'm guessing to trace the lineage. That was in the early seventies. I wish I could have appreciated the genius of that machine as a kid, but I watch your videos with gratitude for your technical knowledge and your willingness and ability to bring that machine to life for future generations.

I was feeling depressed and lonely. I stumbled upon your video, and having run a BridgeBort as far back as 1990, I was instantly captivated by your smooooooth jazz voice and gentle vocal vibrations. Subscribed! Thank you HTR!

Looks so much better unpainted! Sometimes when I use paint stripper I'll use sawdust to scrub with. It soaks up the goop and works great for getting into nooks and crannies, like absorbent steel wool.
