My Bridgeport head rebuild...was only top end now both. 2hp variable speed.

Hi just jumping back in here. I've got some pictures of the Bridgeport power feed I need to post soon. While I can still find them! I also have since made a set of outrigger levelers for the machine. Which also raised up the machine about 3 inches and that puts it at a nice working height. My machine sits on a split in the concrete slabs so this was needed to keep it from rocking around.

Just joined this group and found your thread. Great job on documenting your build. I'm just into a teardown, cleaning, repair and reassembly of a 1972 Bridgeport J head mill. Your photos will be very helpful.

I ended up buying a set of lead screws and a set of feed nuts. I hope to be installing in the next couple of days.

Great, I'm glad it's helping a few people here and there.
