New to me Bridgeport Surface Grinder
« on: March 26, 2024, 11:44:04 PM »
Think I have something wrong with me, I just keep getting more stuff!

Found a older Bridgeport Surface grinder just 10 minutes from my house, $200 could I say no? Well, NO!

Model 815 manual, but looking to make it auto (can't be that hard). Pickup on Sunday.

This is the FB picture, runs good, solid magnetic table, 2 phase (vevor VFD for under $100)

Nice score  :likebutton:

I must say though JR, when I get overwhelmed by all of my projects I just come here to see the next hundredth one you’ve recently picked up and then I feel ok about my situation again!  :facepalm:
Living in the remote north hoping Ken doesn’t bring H up here any time soon…..

In the market for a machinest straight edge to clean the mill up some (bed scraping/truing). Running power for these now and the smaller garage where my youngest setup a workbench.
