As an HVAC guy, I am NOT moving that thing if your furnace goes out.

Love your humility and honesty.  You were easy to understand… I personally wouldn’t use an impact on the machine

He looks strikingly similar to Slim Shady.

That aside, cool video.

I once counted how many levers and knobs are on a Bridgeport for a class I used to give, now I can't remember how many it was, LOL.  11?  17?  I dunno.  It was not counting adjusting nuts.
But if you take people through the basic principles of the machine, and explain each knob and lever _in_context_, most people will take it all in and retain it with a minimum of repetition.

Excellent  !

I agree, great explanations. Excellent!

Thanks for the good information,,

Nicely done.  Thanks for posting it!

I have a Lagun FTV-2, very similar to the Bridgeport.  This is great info.

You did such a great job explaining things, I'm very impressed, I've been considering a.Chinese model , but have been thinking about a Bridgeport lately,. Yo did a great job dispelling spot of my concerns.thank you .

Thanks that was really helpful

Good video! Thank you for sharing!

Great video thank you

You just need a lathe so you can make a new lever for that rear head lock.

Very enlightening .... thank you. I wonder if you know a good machine that is in the market , you are open to share ?

thank you for your presentation milling machine do you have the stl or screwdriver to print thank you very much

Thanks for the idea with the 3-D printer. Going to make one at work tomorrow. Can't stand that lever to move up-and-down always slips out.

Just a question for the speed changing handle I put the speed to 600 and I reverse the handle to got to 4000 right so I can be clockwise and anti clockwise as long as i don't go to far? Not 1 way all the time the chain will seize* up in the middle

I have a cover plate you're missing for your Bridgeport. I'm willing to sell you for pretty cheap.

Can you tell me an effective way to set a z height for repeatability to within a thou, preferably without a dial indicator. I can hit bang on .001 usually w side milling but hardly ever with top milling.  I heard setting against bottom flat working holding and backing off isn't accurate, going be the knee dial,  and now I want to use gauge blocks or even 2 parallels to get a .250 thickness part.. exactly, but I would have to still set the tool and I don't know what the quill stop does when actually cutting I don't think they are that solid so if I still set without pressure so I don't chip the damn tool, I still risk the tool being too deep once it cuts and everything relaxes so it need to test and see if near a certain spot on the knee doing this will give me my target preferably minus a constant
