I'm trying to thin the herd of machines. Over the years I have ended up with 3 mills, I only need one. This is a one of those Taiwan built clones of a Bridgeport. Everybody and their brother has been importing these for the last 40+ years with the name of their choice on the side. I have one that is called a "Millport" that is identical. If you need parts for it, by parts for a real Bridgeport and they fit. I just replaced the clock spring for the quill return that way.

This is a 9x42 with a 2hp-3 Phase motor. Everything works. It has a Servo brand power feed(check the price on that....ouch!)

It had a Mitutoyo DRO on it that needs the scales worked on. I'm going to try to sell it for a short time without the DRO because you can buy a complete set on the 'bay for under $300. The Mitutoyo scale repair starts at $310 for each one and goes up from there. IIRC just the long one is over $1000 new.

Asking $1600 and I'll throw in a vice to put on it. If I fix the Mitutoyo, it becomes a high $2K machine. If you are in Florida we can discuss delivery or I have a forklift to load it on your trailer.

I'm glad you're not in Phoenix or else I'd own a third milling machine.
