My Bridgeport Series I VS

[TheArsonSmith]

Not too long after I got my Logan Lathe Mentioned in this post. I picked up this bad boy. I live in the Phoenix valley and have a hard time finding machinery of any kind. So when this guy showed up I put most of my old hobby stuff on craigslist and sold of enough projects that I was unlikely to finish anyway to pick this guy up. Fewer backlog projects and more new tools. Win win.

And a DRO? You just won the lotto,fantastic lathe and a mill don't get any better

Yea, it's even an old Mitutoyo DRO. The story I got is it was in a gunsmith shop that closed up. Other than some slightly pitted rust under the vice that I cleaned up best I could the thing is in great shape. I wired in the VFD and did a full PM replacing all the oil/grease and it runs great.

I think it was meant to be. Oh, and by the way, you suck.

It feels at home there. I just moved the drill press next to it over to the right. They look good together
