Bridgeport bench top mill?

[sanddan]

I just saw this Bridgeport listed on CL. Looks to be a small version, only 1/4 HP. Thought it might be interesting for the members.

That is an old and unknown to me horizontal milling machine, with a vintage Bridgeport head grafted on to it, perhaps a "M" or "H" head.

Edit: On second look, that is probably an older and smaller head than a M or H head. Probably a real antique.

Second edit: The BP head does not have a movable quill, so someone has added a mechanism for lowering the entire head instead. Check back if you remain interested in it and we will talk you out of it... 8^)

That's an interesting old machine.

I thought it was interesting, not something I'd buy. LOL

Glad it's far away from me. It is exactly the kind of thing that I might buy before I came to my senses.
