Welcome my new to me Bridgeport, while the old one was trusty. This one is bigger and uses R8 tooling which is leaps better than my ER30 to B&S # 7 rig.
But it didn't show up pretty and ready. I took a few days of scrubbing, scraping and pressure washing. Before painting, stoning and re oiling. Then since it's a 3 phase machine, I designed and printed a mount for the VFD to bolt on the factory switch pad. While having a panel for tactile switches and buttons. I'm really happy how it looks in it's spot and am tempted to refresh the lathe now...
