ive been looking for a bridgeport mill for a while.. they come up every now and then
I never wanted a red car.. always thought they were tacky and common...
I now have 4 very not common cars and they are all red.. :o

my buddy just bought a bridgeport and a newer lathe.

i'll inquire about his old one. it may need a little work to get up and running. i'll get the deets.

That looks a little small, maybe a 6" ?

probably about the same as taking an ultra4 car in and out haha.


ya, ceiling height would probably be better in the shop, but im not sure i want to kill a Bay.  for limited use like that.  Make load and unload way easier though later.

A better solution than a wheelbarrow was for an engine may be required.
