Thanks first time watcher and it wont be the last great content and well done

Great video...liked all the ideas

That table stop is beautiful

Great Vid for those of us new to milling, can’t thank you enough. 4 items ordered. 👍 Couple more that I’d still like also. The quill speed nut unfortunately out of stock with no idea when they might become available again. The quill handle next and eventually the auto draw bar gizmo - but I’ve got to save the pennies a bit longer yet. 👍👍👍🇦🇺

The reason the knee handle has a flat section inside the teeth is because it originally had a spring that kept the teeth between the mill and handle from meshing. You would need to push the handle so the teeth would engage when moving the knee. Most people removed the spring because it was awkward to push and turn. Today it's ideal if you have a Z axis feed because you don't have a handle swinging around when feeding up at the prefect height to hit your nuts.

Love the spring loaded quill depth jaws , great video

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I enjoyed it. Hoping you get a chance to do the build videos. Thanks.

I like the vice jaw tool. Put a magnet in the end of that thing with some epoxy, and I bet it feels a lot more stable.

Yes,I need to make a few of these tools,very good, thank you

Good ideas, some I allready had plans for when I get my mill. (It's on order) I think I like the vise jaw thumb wrench the best. I have a new Kurt 6" vise. I plan on putting a riser block in the turret, surprised you didn't talk about that. Maybe 4" for me.

Great tips, looking forward to more videos

good,clear explanations​. thanks

Thanks

I make my own thumb drivers for the vise jaw screws, too. I make mine to be driven by a ratcheting wrench that way you do not have to switch from allen key to thumb driver and I make them just long enough to frr the ratcheting wrench over them with the jaws open as little as possible so I do not have to be opening the jaws too far all the time.

I would also recommend finding a good Gladwin indicator online if you can. No longer in production, but still around. They read from both sides, and are the easiest way to indicate the center of a hole.

Hey, good work

Great videos Stuart, keep them up

Another helpful video Stuart, thanks!

Hammer is great!

You need to put a couple springs on your vice stop... :)

Stuart, how did you get your mill? did you save up and buy it, get it used?

👍👍😎👍👍

Are you kidding me it takes to long to thread the stop up or down?

should have been titled "time savers for the BRIDGEPORT" milling machine"..... my machine has none of thes features

Too many are solutions to non existent problems. Nothing worth 16 minutes of my time.
