Finally got a BP, Series 1, 1981 build.

Add a DRO and you're ready to go.

Looks like the mill already has a DRO , maybe an old Mititoyo .

All,
Yes, has a BP DRO, seller claimed it was “unreliable”. Will look into it. I can’t tell, but I’m sure some of you could tell if this DRO model might be same era of this 1981 mill? (Came with it new).

All,

And a shameless plug for you, Dave. From your garage to my shed.

NOTE: If you zoom in on the headstock, you see the sharpie marks that us new illiterates have to make to keep from moving the wrong thing at the wrong time!

Who in the heck is the OLD GUY in the pic ? Funny , most of the equipment is now gone and you still can't walk a straight line thru the garage .

Looks vintage to the machine Gordon . I have a similar older Mititoyo that works fine . I don't need all the frills of the new units , it's easier to do it on the computer . Things are looking good up there !

I got a drop bed trailer at Sunbelt last November. When I needed it again in the spring they no longer had them. I found one at United Rentals.
