" A Guide to Renovating the Bridgeport Series 1 "J" Head Milling Machine ". Our 125 page soft cover shop manual, is fully illustrated with almost 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. 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. Please take a look at the sample pages in the photos above for an example of what to expect. The photos can be enlarged by clicking the button beneath the photos. If you are interested in the Bridgeport 2J Variable Speed model, please check our other listings for that manual. 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 daunting as you may think.
