Thank you for posting this now 23-year old video. For those complaining about the quality, the end of the video shows it was Copyright 1995 by MIT. Thank you for the refresher. I learned the basics of Bridgeports back in the late 80's as a young co-op mechanical engineer, and it is always nice to refresh the memory with the basics of machining technology.

Thank you.

They aren't doing anything in helping anyone increase their knowledge, and make them better machinist like you are doing in such an unselfish way. I know it takes a lot of time to produce and edit a video, something they don't help with their negativism. Thanks again and please keep up with your excellent work!!

Nice video and very good play by play. I am going to respectfully disagree with you on the quill feed application. The quill feed is NOT to be used for drilling. There are very good reasons for this. First is the fact that it does not have the range of feeds per revolution to achieve the proper feed over the range of sizes of drills that may be encountered. Any attempt to drill to fast will result in tool deflection (resulting in an oversize off location hole) or tool breakage. If the drill is fed too slow, it will not achieve purchase on the material to be cut, it will then over heat and become dull. If the drill is big enough the gear train will be damaged. What is the quill feed for? This feature is for use with a boring head. In a boring operation, feed is much less critical and the material to be removed is minimal, less than .005in per side. I spent a dozen years in job shops and the last 15 working on machines just like this. I have seen the results of feed mechanisms being improperly used. Feeding a drill with the boring drive will break things.

Excellent vid, really enjoy, will be recommending to some people for a class. to be fair on your shop etiquette part regarding vice square - if they walk up to the mill with a really expensive part and fail to check square on everything before cutting, regardless of how it looks, the ruined part is on them. to anybody contemplating using one of these machines - always check square. always. doesn't matter the time of day or the phase of the moon, any part worth your time can wait for you to properly check everything before cutting. Measure twice, cut once.

Ha, I have been "faking " being a machinist for 10+ years at my co. as a jack of all making little widgets and fixtures and stuff but never knew the quill feed kicked off like that ....I don't use much if at all since most of my stuff is tiny so there is no need but I thought it would just destroy the gears if it deaded into the stop :) ....I use the stop for manually drilling or plunging only if I set the stop. I love this youtube school !!

@dannyoktim96288 жыл бұрын
I'm a retired toolmaker that enjoyed your vid, I think the most important takeaway from this vid is shop educate, NEVER amuse the previous worker left the equipment in a "strap it down and go" condition. If you screw up a piece it will be your dumb, and when you explain you will hear "didn't you check the equipment" before you cut? As an apprentice I learned this early, I set up a 1x6x19 inch steal plate on a Bridgeport to mill a .750 slot 5 inches long .250 deep with a 2 flute .750 end mill. Checked my clamps, set the end mill speed, cranked the knee up and set my zero. OK, lets take a .030 cut. . .I cranked the knee up .010 and the end mill garbed and walked across the part and slammed into my hardened clamp. What the F!!! Rule One. . .Never Amuse. A worker had used the mill for some offset turret work and neglecting to tighten the turret bolts when he returned the mill head 90 to the table. People forget things, get rushed to a new project or just have a bad day, yes I was upset and could of been injured but I wasn't, needles to say . . .the part looked like hell! Teaching safety is just as important as technique, an industrial accident may not only involve the apprentice but his master and near by coworkers too. For everybody's safety, never assume! Subject change: I had to move from shop to shop to learn. . . now I watch You Tube! Keep teaching . . .your doing just fine.

I would not tram the head with my indicator in a drill chuck. I attach it right to the quill with an indicator holder. I also tram it to the table with a stack of identical heigh blocks. If I do tram to the vice I use a longer flat bar for better accuracy. If that head is out .0003 over 4 inches it will be off a bit much if you're working on a block that's two feet long. So I usually tram to the table and then make sure my vice is on dead flat. I've actually seen vices out of parallel by .001 before checking them on a surface plate.

@manga128 жыл бұрын
hmm ah so so that is why it is called a knee mill, I thought it had to do with the hight, it goes in and out, and the turret turns as its not stationary till you want it to, but this is new to me, I mean I have seen mills and using a mill to flatten out tops and cut groves in plates of metal as well as cleaning parts up, though I have seen that mostly on lathes. but this is fascinating you can speed it up and down just like that by winding it.
@bloodyripperau8 жыл бұрын
Something you left out on the quill feel was the forward/natural/reverse pin that is located in the centre of the fine feed handle that you are missing from the machine.
@bloodyripperau8 жыл бұрын
also when tramming the head you will notice on the front of the quill depth stop there are two machined notches at the top and bottom of the screw they are machined square with the quill so one can use a 12"' square off the table and tram both the tilt and the nod of the head.

I hate to think what the draw bar end is like, mushroomed out I suspect, making the spanner difficult to fit. Also when aligning the head, there are adjusting screws that work a worm and wheel to move it, there is no need to bang it with a hammer.
