Nice!
I run a old Tree Mill at work for our engine machining. Did you get the manual with it?
First thing I'd do is to adjust the table, make sure there's no play in it (.001"-.003" nominal). It's amazing what a guy can do on those things. Get a turntable too. Those things make a mill so much more versatile.

That's an old looking mill! Stuff like that is awesome.

Very nice, a true Bridgeport and not one of them knockoffs! After a general tear down and clean up, lube job, etc. I'd outfit it with a DRO, but I betcha it'll do just fine as is.

Real men don't use auto feed anyway. We just lost ours...
Unfortunately I did not get the manual with it. Guy we got it from was the 2nd or 5th owner and didn't have it. The table *feels* tight but we do need to go through it and check everything out. I would love to have a turntable, DRO and power feeds. Just gotta find it all at the right price.

I knew Jeff and I wouldn't be the only ones who dig on that stuff.
That's a good sized machine in the haas line. What type of work do you do?
I don't know if I like harass because they are what I grew up on or if they really are as good as i think they are for the money, but I'm a haas fan. Maybe I just haven't been spoiled by the 7-figure Japanese true 5 axis machines

I like running stuff that you don't have to be a programmer to run. Zero dial, crank handle, move lever, watch for debris and oil. My wife hates it when I come home with magnesium shavings in my hair. I look like I have silver dandruff after that.

Yep. I need to buy some too. We have a old timer that bought a piece of the pie when it was cheap and now he could retire on his share anytime. ha!
