My first post.
Thanks to youtube legends, I caught the machinist bug hard in the last few years. I've researched and saved and planned and set goals (my childrens science fair projects will be 1st prize.) So im starting to pull triggers. I bought a 1966 bridgeport with complete (extensive) tooling last week. The weather is prohibiting me from moving it home this weekend so I decided I will drive to wisconsin to view a relic.
She's a dirty old girl. Full of shmoo and very few chips. Present owner doesnt seem to know much about it but it comes with tooling that appears to be worth quite a bit and I'm guessing 1000 pounds of extra this and thats. Asking price is 2750, owner was unable to get me the serial number.
So wish me luck. Im hoping for a not so in depth project. Just something to clean, paint and tinker with until my boys are of age to work in my sweat shop. Lol
