Bridgeport

I’ve got my vertical mill.

Note: this is NOT required to build a Sonex.

Nice! What’s next on your wishlist?

The skills to use it! We may do a CNC conversion on it.

I’m jealous!

I spent a summer running manual machines ages ago. I miss it.

Nice.

Is that the 1 ton daddy Bridgeport or the 1/2 ton momma Bridgeport?

next additions Power Feed & DRO ?

It’s a series 1, 2 HP so I think about a ton. The series 2 is 4000 lbs. It has a power feed and DRO but they may need some work or an update.

Me too.

Welcome Dave! He has a lot of neat things. The closest that I might get to a ‘bridgeport’ would be the town of Bridgport here in Tx!! You should enjoy all the posts here, and let us know about your sonex futures,even if already under way, or still thinking!

The town of Bridgeport, CT is where the mill was made. That’s also the town where my two sons were born.
