Hey Barry! Thanks for the video. Hey, I run a 2 axis Acu-Rite Sharp knee mill. The last two times a repair guy came out and replaced the broken clockspring, it never worked right. It has way too much snap back at the bottom of travel even though it has no snap back and actually drops at the top of travel. I have tried adjusting it but no position even comes close to working right. Of course, I just want it to be neutral and stay where I put it. I'm convinced the guy must be installing the wrong spring. Is that possible? Thanks for any help.

👏💯

I like how many people complain about the cost of your product which is an incredible design yet no one takes the time to make the same product and sell it for way cheaper if it’s really as simple to do as everyone claims…..

Is there a part number for the bracket that the 13" scale mounts to?

Thanks for sharing.

Excellent video!

Say you are busy taking your spindle out, tap tap form the back and it gets stuck. The bottom bearing looks like its about an inch away from the spacer and no matter how many "taps" it's given, it refuses to move.

Got my new HW shafts installed. Smooooth! kzbin.infoazYbQFEVqHw?si=zECrO6R-LBjmjni4

Barry, Thanks for all the great videos about Bridgeport milling machines. Will you please make a video specifically about all of the various J & 2J head noises, and help us to troubleshoot our possible issues. Thanks!

I am trying to pull the fine quill adjustment collar off and cannot get this darn ball out. I see your magnet trick and it does not appear to want to work for me. Any further advise?

I have a set screw in the bottom of the table tee slot. I also have a hash mark on the front table edge in line with this set screw. I also have a hash mark on saddle that supports the table. When the two hash marks are aligned I can remove the set screw and drop oil through the set screw hole onto the cross feed nut lubricating it. I do not know if this is common to all Bridgeports or a previous owner added it. I also have a shallow round bottom trough milled all of the way around the periphery of the table which is extremely handy for laying drills, taps, and etc. so that they do not roll off when being exchanged, yet does not collect much in terms of swarf.

Thx🎉😊

Would be great if you explained why you're bending the lever. And how the clutch should be set from the factory. The spring pressure can be increased or decreased, I just don't know what the factory setting is.

excellent video.. i'm missing the shims or spacers for the servo, its been removed many times by previous operators.. also i have the servo stop but its not installed since the plate and stop posts are missing ..how can i order from you guys?

Thanks for the tip on the spacer. Made one and removed the gear/shaft with little effort. This is why I am a loyal customer for my Bridgeport rebuilds. Your shipping is always fast

I have a Jet 3hp vari speed head that I need to fix the noisy Reeves Drive. Planning on using this vid as a guide, even though it's not specifically for the import heads.

I just acquired one of these from being thrown in the scrap all because of the motor pulleys and key being damaged an easy repair by repositioning the key on the opposite side

Please Do Not cut it! Make a guide bushing and drill + ream the head instead. The longer shaft is twice the strengh of the short one. That's the reason it was bend on the first place .

I really appreciate that you share your knowledge !!!...thank you very much ...

This is a really helpful video. Thank you for sharing your amazing knowledge.

I don't understand driving the spindle down with a drawbar? How can a drawbar screw into the spindle with no collet installed? Would like to see a pic of this spindle arrangement. Same 7/16-20 tpi drawbar used for both collet and spindle? Thanks!

Thank you guys for this video, only one on youtube. Currently trying to install a 150 we bought from you, and this helps a lot.

I'm working on a Prototrak DPM3 that has a head modeled after the Bridgeport 2J, and given that it is a 3-axis CNC I have a hard time thinking of a case where I would need to use the power downfeed. I'm always interested in finding ways to tidy machines up, and so it got me wondering if all the hardware associated with the power downfeed could be removed and whether the head would continue working well otherwise without it.

Ive watch theses guys for years they are very good if i need a my Bridgeport repaired it would definitely go to them 😊

Great video as always. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and time. 👍

How how do you that that apart?

Boa Noite sou Brazil tudo bem tenho uma máquina dessa estou precisando de fazer a regular placa de velocidade tem alguma dicas

Thanks you very much

👍

I don’t understand how you arrived at .008 (unless I’m figuring my math wrong), I get .0112.

I have a 1978 Bridgeport that I believe the top end is locked up. What if I can’t get it turned down to the lowest speed before disassembly?

I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now. I'm in the process of repairing my step pulley J head. In appreciation for all your help - I decided to buy my parts from you. Thanks for your great videos. 👍

Thanks for your videos. You're making my Bridgeport Head repair much easier. Also like how you provide parts numbers, too.

Só do Brasil e tenho maquina dessa tive desmotar ela pra manutenção Preventiva e vi que as cheveta são se tecnil e certo???

Olá boa noite

Please send spring dimensions

A trick for getting the blind bearing out. Pack its hollow shaft with grease and reinsert the bull gear shaft. Try to seat it with an arbor, press, clamp, etc. The hydraulic force should push the bearing out.

Qual é o diametro externo desta polia????

Thanks for sharing your experience and no BS rebuild videos, Short, simple, to the point. Perfect.
