It is time to bring my 1960s Bridgeport milling machine back to life! This is a 100% genuine clapped-out mill that I picked up about a year ago. I always hated the horrible white paint job someone did on this machine, so that needs to be fixed. There are also several worn, missing, or completely broken parts that all need attention. This isn't a full restoration, but more of a "rescue".
I first needed to remove all paint and body filler, which there was a lot of! Then I needed to install a new quill spring and make new cam ring pins, a new quill lock handle, and install new measuring indicators. Someone converted this mill to use grease instead of oil, which is blasphemous, so all oil lines needed to be fully replaced with ACTUAL oil in them.
I decided to not paint the mill at all and leave it completely bare metal. This matches the look of the tools in the rest of my shop and makes it easy for me to add paint later if I feel like it.
I took everything related to the axes apart, but I did not disassemble the head, as I wasn't planning on replacing any worn parts in it.
Overall, the mill is in an average condition and I think some bronze wear components will need to be replaced within the next 5-10 years depending on my usage.
I am not a machinist aiming for high levels of accuracy, so as long as the tool can get the job done, I am happy for now.

I still use an Adcock-Shipley Bridgeport regularly! It’s owned by my student rocketry team in university, not in a fantastic state but still going strong. We’ve only had it for a few years, I believe it was previously owned by a hospital but I’m not sure what they used it for. I’m also not sure exactly how old it is but we like to joke that it’s been around since before the Moon landings!

@richardbell9656 Год назад
@@WesleyWestland my apprenticeship consisted of first year in training school then three years on the shop floor in different departments eg. lathes, milling,drilling and toolroom. At one point I was operating an early CNC Bridgeport,producing the faceplate for the variable speed Bridgeport head. It was converted to cnc by a company called MOOG. The command centre was a punch hole reel to reel loop paper tape. No automatic tool changers in them days. Two workstations on the jig and the spindle had a quick change tool holder similar to a chuck and key. All tools were preset. It ran 16 hours a day,5 days a week without a single problem. Also produced a beautifully presented,boxed up,boring head attachment specifically designed to enhance the versatility of the Bridgeport.

@@richardbell9656 Interesting stuff, didn't know CNCs were around back then. By faceplate do you mean the bit with the rotating dial for the spindle speed on it? I've looked up the type number on ours and it was made in 1974, so who knows it might be one of the ones you worked on! :)

@@WesleyWestland Yes Wesley , that is the part you described. You never know, it maybe a part that I produced. The Bridgeport was so versatile that they were sold worldwide. Talking about early years CNC machinery, on the shop floor, we had 3 auto lathes that produced the collet tool holders for the Bridgeport head. The lathes were made by a company called Ward, based in Coventry England. The command and control centre was a plugboard, similar too an old fashioned telephone exchange. Just feed the it steel bars and away it went.

The Bridgeport factory on Lindley Street was very familiar to me as I drove by it for many years. My best friend's father was Magnus's nephew, I believe--a man referred to as a trouble-shooter for the company after it was sold to Textron. As boy scouts he brought the troop to the facility and showed us the rows of machines in production. There was also a museum-like room that had a series of machines, I'm guessing to trace the lineage. That was in the early seventies. I wish I could have appreciated the genius of that machine as a kid, but I watch your videos with gratitude for your technical knowledge and your willingness and ability to bring that machine to life for future generations.

Great narration. Used to work on and install abused equipment. Usually took more time to true abused machines than install them. Try a 12' above and 6' below boring mill. Grease SUCKS. When cleaning try mixing 25% kerosene with the oil. Then flush with machine oil. Cheaper than engine oil and I think you can get it in a 25 gal. drum. The metal finish looks great but not practical. Did a mill in green with copper oil lines that was frikkin awesome. Thanks for taking the time to share your work.

Removing chips from the sides of the table was always a hassle for me even with a vacuum. I made a custom fit tray with a lift handle out of perforated steel to fit that space. I could easily lift the chips out! The hole you identify is threaded, not for chip removal, but for attachment of a lubricant drain tube. Makes that chip removal tray even more efficacious!

Wow 10 grand to bring it up to speed. Can remember helping my dad run power to a brand new two phase Bridgeport around 1965 that think cost less then $3,000. Went to wire up a couple dozen of these great milling machines. If I did not become a sparky would have liked to be a machnist. Thanks for the great vid.

Brings back some fond memories...my neighbor worked at the Bridgeport Plant and I worked as an Apprentice Tool and Die Maker. Worked at Apex Tool and Cutter Company in Shelton, CT. I trained on some of their antiques that dated back to the 1860's...could hold tolerances to within .001" ... Like my bosses and the owner drummed into my head...OIL, OIL, OIL...we made Milling Cutters, Shapers, 125 lb Gooseneck Tool Holders...we made everything except the raw Stock...we had our own Forge to make Blades and Bodies...miss those days but glad I learned...it paid me back in spades all my life...excellent video sir...enjoy that beautiful machine.

Going thru' your catalogue again and this has to be thee finest restoration, in my humble opinion, you have done. Simply due to the fact that you DIDN'T paint it. Bare metal has a beauty that far outshines any pain job. I always have a little groan when chunks get dressed up. No need.

Looks so much better unpainted! Sometimes when I use paint stripper I'll use sawdust to scrub with. It soaks up the goop and works great for getting into nooks and crannies, like absorbent steel wool.
