Description

If you are planning on refurbishing your Bridgeport Series 1 "J" Head Mill (Step Pulley Model) or if you are in the market for a good used Bridgeport, then this new manual by ILION Industrial Services is a great place to start. " A Guide to Renovating the Bridgeport Series 1 "J" Head Milling Machine ". Our 126 page soft cover shop manual, is fully illustrated with over 350 B&W photographs and diagrams, plus step-by-step instructions for disassembling, cleaning, reassembling and adjusting all of the critical components of the Step Pulley J-head milling machine. The manual illustrates all of the different model variations plus it contains a section on evaluating used machinery prior to purchase. Bridgeport never produced a full-blown maintenance manual for their mills so this is the closest you will come to a step-by-step guide. If you are interested in the Bridgeport 2J Variable Speed model, please take a look at our other manuals. The typeface of the manual is printed two points larger than normal for those of us who prefer to work at the bench without the use of our reading glasses. The instructions are simple and easy to follow... no prior machinery renovation experience is required. Though the Bridgeport is an industrial machine, it is well suited for the home garage shop or small business and the task of finding one, getting it home and getting it back into operating condition is not as expensive and challenging as you may think. Let us show you how to do it. Read more

    • Highly Recommended !
As the new owner of an older Bridgeport clone milling machine, this book was recommended as a first purchase. Am I ever glad to have followed up on that advice! This book contains a myriad of descriptive photographs of assemblies, parts, and procedures. The print is in large font; oh so nice for these old eyes of mine. Applying the methods detailed in this book I was able to effect a repair of a faulty fine down-feed and feed-stop without having to purchase new parts. This book paid for itself the first day it arrived, and as it turns out, my new/old machine is a gem of a mill. Anyone looking to buy a used milling machine, especially a Bridgeport or BP-clone, should seriously consider purchasing this book beforehand. Many thanks to LLC ILION Industrial services and Amazon Prime, you've made my day and then some! ... show more

    • Great reference tool!
The information is without a doubt a viable source on bridgeport repairs. I recently rebuilt an entire machine, top to bottom and referenced the book several times and I achieved great results and now have a much tighter/ more reliable cutting machine

    • Clear, well written with pictures, glad I purchased it!
Has lots of procedures to help disassemble and reassemble the parts of the mill.

    • Excellent for intended purpose
This book starts by defining what it IS- a refurbishment guide- and is NOT- a total overhaul guide. The various stages of disassembly, inspection, and reassembly are well supported by text and photos. It does a good job of filling in the understanding gaps for those who have studied the parts breakdowns in the manuals and are mechanically fluent but have not actually worked on one of these machines before. The only reason for 4 vs 5 stars is that it gets a bit brief in some sections. Overall well worth the cost. ... show more

    • Great info for a Bridgeport buyer or owner!
Superb book for the first-time Bridgeport buyer. It’s full of valuable information and clear photographs of detailed instructions—well done! I really appreciated the list of Bridgeport parts and service specialists listed in the back pages.
