Not a new PM member, but new to the antique machinery threads. About a week and a half ago I started the tear down of a WB Knight Machinery #2 mill that had a Bridgeport M head adapted to it. I bought it from my boss (and father in law) not knowing exactly what it was, but after doing some research and help from the guys on the BP thread I found out its a #2. The company we got it from was using it as a production machine until we got our hands on it a year or two back. It has had least 4 coats of paint on it and at least 2 of those coats went over EVERY single part, it seems like.
So far I have torn the entire machine apart, minus the BP Head (which I won't really go into detail here since an M head isnt all that antique to most), the knee, and the power feed gear box. I have not been able to get the knee to rotate, which I think I have to do to be able to get the Y axis screw out.
Once it gets rebuilt, it will be going home to do just odds and ends stuff.
