Looks more like a Bridgebort. -Hand Tool Rescue

I once restored a Bridgeport that had spent a couple years sitting silently with "cool-tool" residue caked all over it, inside and out! Takes a lot of determination and patience to do these restorations

This was a lucky buy, all ways are scraped recently, everything works just fine. You neednt do anything but cleaning. Brazed parts are questionable.

Man, I’m so jealous! I’ve wanted a Bridgeport for so long! That thing is incredible.

I do and I don’t. It’s a big machine, takes up a lot of room and requires 3 phase power. So I haven’t seriously looked for one because I’m not sure I really want it in my shop. I do have a mini mill that works fine for anything knife/paper weight sized. The bridgeport would be great for engine work like boring cylinders or decking heads which are going to be too big for the mini mill.

Great job, I used to work a Bridgeport for 50 hours a week, every week many years ago. Yours was in better condition when you started than the one I used. It looks really clean, reasonably recently scraped ways and the DRO is a great addition.

agreed, this machine was basically just dirty but in almost perfect working condition.

Your video editing technique is almost as impressive as your restoration skills. A joy to watch.

You got yourself a Bridgeport. Good for you. Hope we'll see plenty of new content of you using this classic mill.

Looks like one of the anvils that came from that Italian monastery that has over a hundred of them😊

I'm impressed you did that in less than a half hour, Mr B.

Is not like a restoring, it is more like clean and oil the Bridgeport Very beautiful video

This may be one of my favorite videos from you. Everything about this restoration was on-point!

Can't believe that machine cleaned up so nicely! Superb addition to the shop and can't wait to see what you're going to make using it.

Congratulations on a fantastic machine :D Looking forward to see you using this in your upcomming videos. Cheers and have a nice weekend.

I love watching your restoration videos, and this one was exceptional! Thank you, sir! Great as always

Amazing! I love this restoration videos. Even I didn’t know about the existence of this “manual CNC”. Great job! Thanks for sharing!

Great work brother! Your machine restoration and tool build videos are my favorites. That Bridgeport milling machine is a Grail tool for most in the hobby maker world, and you have not only found one, but you have brought an old soldier back into service! It'll serve faithfully for many years to come. Can't wait to see what you do with it in the future! Be well.

What's not to love about that? A beautiful restoration of a very deserving machine. Thanks for sharing your expertise and experience.

Nicely done! Thanks for not adding music to your video. I like adding my own while still being able to hear what you're doing.

You've done a lovely job on that beautiful machine! back to life without robbing it of its original character and the story all of its little marks and imperfections tell. I'm sometimes saddened when I watch people strip them back to the casting, fill and repaint. Great job man - I've watched the entire video 3 times already - Thanks!

Bridgeports are a thing of beauty!really liked you did those repairs with brazing-a personal favorite!

This is a great find, and perfect candidate for a light restoration.

Beautiful job restoring a workhorse of a machine! Thank you for saving it from the scrap heap, BBP.

That's a lovely mill and it's nice to see it so well restored. But what we really need is more corgi footage. :)

Wow, to call this project ambitious would be a gross understatement. Bravo for taking the time to clean and polish so many parts! I’m sure that this mill will give you excellent service for many years to come. Again, bravo!

Most satisfying video! To see a beautiful machine brought back to life this way! Well done sir!!

I have like the first bridgeport ever made. This one is such a beauty, all the bells and whistles. Great job

I really like the way you speed things up. You put out a lot of information in a very short time. Awesome video.

I love the Bridgeport especially the BR2J2 like this. All the knobs are in the right places and you only need one spanner! Great to see this grubby example brought back to life: well done!

Nice piece of machinery you got there. Can't wait to see you use it for your projects.

Something deeply satisfying about a "Working restoration" instead of just make it pretty. Only one thing I would pick fault with and it falls so deep into personal opinion territory I won't even bother saying what it was. Just 25 minutes of pure enjoyment.

Probably your most serious hardware in your workshop yet! Nice clenaup, it was in a pretty okay shape all things considered, doesn't look like it was used that much.

I would’ve gotten through the disassembly and then said oooh nooo I fudged up. I’m glad guys like you can get things back together right on these bigger pieces. Made that thing look 20 years younger!

Fantastic job. You are truly fortunate to have one of these machines. I served my engineering apprenticeship on one of these, so I have a soft spot for them. Keep up the food work.

At least on camera, you tear into those machines and remember how to put them back together no problem. I'd have "spare parts" everywhere! Great work. I love watching you give these old machines new life. It's fun when you use them in future videos and I can say, "Oh! I remember when he restored that one!"

Amazing machine! You made a great job, keep going!

As always another great job. Cannot wait to see what you are able to make with that. Look forward to your next video.

You made it look so easy, but it shows with a little elbow grease you can revive the beauty of such a piece... Great Video. Thanks for Sharing

Love your videos man, you put so much effort into creating really amazing footage and the pacing of the work is really engaging.

Wow how much perfection in the reform on the other hand the good thing is that we know the machine completely congratulations.

They don't make better milling machines. Great job.

Great job. Congratulations on your new Bridgeport.

I love this video, I’ve watched it a couple times now. You do a beautiful job and it’s amazing to think of all the cool things that machine has been apart of making in its past

That was one AMBITIOUS project!! Nice job, well done. I wish I had the engineering knowledge to tackle such a project.

Excellent work as always, dude! You're going to have a lot of fun with that! Can't wait to see it used in a project! 🍻🤘💜

Great job cleaning it up and repairing it! You hit the jackpot with that "used" Bridgeport... Other than a few broken parts and some wear, the thing is pretty cherry. Hardly any damage to the table, and the ways appear to be in really good shape! Hope to get one someday and I equally hope I can find one in that good a shape... Enjoy your new machine, any home machinist would love to have one, especially in that good a condition.

Such a great puzzle !! A pleasure to watch your work 👍

Bravo! Much nicer than the one I have to use. I was actually excited to see your first cut! I always like seeing the tools you've restored being used, I'm sure this one will be in many upcoming videos.

I don’t have any idea what you just did but found it extremely interesting and satisfying. Maybe I’m a machinist in a previous life

Very sympathetic restoration. I guess I would call it an oily rag and bushings restore. That is not to diminish the work you put in. The transformation in looks and probably workings too is fantastic.

That is impressive! I love that we can essentially manufacture our own parts now. If you told my father 20 years ago we would reach a point in technology that you could 3D fabricate and laser cut your own parts in your home... he would have bricked. Yeah, they can be expensive but the return is what makes them an investment. Kudos to you on another job well done!

A bonnie, a beauty and a joy forever. Congrats.

шикарная реставрация!!!! Помыл и покрасил.

A great job and a beautiful machine. A german craftsman.

Wow🤤 What a awesome restoration and congrats to finding this gem. You have a mill for ur childrens childrens children and some.

All hand scrape appears very well ,, 👍🏻,,thanks for sharing

Fantastica sua máquina!!! E a restauração ficou muito legal. Parabéns. Gratidão

man who loves his job. I have great respect for you

Lovely machine. The ways looks like they were rescraped and then the machine sat idle and collected dust and rust. It's nice to see it make chips.

Awesome work That mill was in great condition under the rust and dirt

Wow! Beautiful! Can't believe how brave you are ripping this thing down. Awesome job.... Hope the person who sold it to you gets to see this. Great video!

WOW! Game changer! You just levelled up sir 🤘🏻

Excellent. You've done a great job.

What an undertaking! Nice work man.

Congratulations for your new big toy, nice projects are coming.

Great restoration! That’s quite a mill! 👍

Learned/tested for many basic/complex milling projects/processes using one of those as part of a CNC Operator/Machinist apprenticeship. Also enjoyed learning/testing using the various chuck-sized/H.power older lathes as well. So much freakin' cooler than just programming a modern CNC machine and hitting the go button. Lol

First impression was that machine was spent. But the scraping on the ways is incredible. Other than the broken gib it ended up being pristine. What a charmed find!

I didn't think you could restore a Bridgeport in 1/2 hour but you did it!

I I bought a used bridgeport, I'm loving it ,i loved your vídeo too

First of all, congratulations on the new multifunctional tool! Secondly, a good restoration! Thirdly, I still use a rust remover, wash, dry and wipe with oil.... How I want a new sandblaster haha! Big like!

Fantastic job. Congratulations, again.

You have inspired me to do the same. Now to go find a bridge port in that good condition.

Amazing job, it's a beautiful machine !!

I was waiting for you to crack in to that J-Head....that's where the real fun begins! Good work. Clean machine overall. You found a gem. Mine came from a food processing factory and it appeared they used it as a drill-press and washed it down with a waterhose. Nothing moved, nothing worked. Got it for $280. Completely restored with the additions of power feed on every axis, 4-axis magnetic DRO, and power drawbar. Could probably sell it for $5-7K now.

Nice find! Ways all look to be in reasonable condition judging by the consistency of the flaking.

Sweet mill and restoration!

Early eighties? All the flaking is in great condition, and decked out with factory power feeds! Great find, please come clean mine now!

a Corgi!! We've had Corgis for over 40 years and they are the best family members!

Awesome machine! Again great work 💪
