    Working on Bridgeport Variable Speed head rebuild. Stuck on the large bull gear assembly.

    Post a pic of what you are speaking of. I am pretty sure I know but don’t want to assume and provide bad advice. I’ve had several heads apart and rebuilt them. I’ve had my fair share of hiccups as well. No not use your press. Nothing is that tight. Some slight heat at most to open a pocket.

    <3/4" tube beading machine options?

    You’ll need to find a tool similar to the hydraulic brake line flaring tool. A forced compression die type. I’m sure there is something g out there but I haven’t a clue where. Maybe a place that does AC lines would know the name and type machine.

    Need someone with a lathe in the Madison/Milwaukee/Chicago area

    Put a wanted ad on Facebook or marketplace and hopefully you have some down the road from you. I do this sort of work all the time for a printing company but my shop time/rate has 1hr min at $75 Someone local, hopefully retired machinist would do it for beer😜

    Bridgeport Series II Special, without the head -- worth getting? possible substitute milling heads?

    It’s a pretty good sized piece for the adapter. Black oxide looking piece.

    Bridgeport Series II Special, without the head -- worth getting? possible substitute milling heads?

    I mounted an old j head on my series II. Mine was not the “special” so I ended up making an adapter. You should be totally fine with any j head mounting to it. I have a few heads that have been gone through if you need one. Message me if in the states. I’m near St Louis, MO.

    Collet speed chuck Hardinge Jacobs etc

    Make an offer if interested in anything. The only thing I won’t do is split up collets from their respective chucks.

    Bending 1.25" OD water tubes 90º on a JD2, which material to buy?

    I’ve bent a lot of SS tube on my JD2 model 3 over the years. I only bent 45• bends using a 1” tube die and tight CLR. The parts were used in a crucible to melt silicon into massive ingots for computer wafer production. It was 304 iirc. Slightly heavy wall (~.090”) but it worked fine.

    1944 Bridgeport with J head

    The t slot bolts fit behind the head and the threads face the operator so there is not turning the head to “get them started”. Essentially, all 4 long t bolts are inserted into the circular ram face and you carefully slide the head onto the bolts. It is very tricky to do by oneself. They want...

    WTS Bridgeport Series 2 parts machine

    I just snapped my Y axis table lock this morning. Any chance you want to sell the shaft with the splines in the end? It is reverse thread. Please please please😜

    1944 Bridgeport with J head

    I agree 100% with what you stated above. The ram should be a t slot groove for the long bolts to rotate around the so you can angle the head. The OP is suggesting the ram has “fixed” bolt positions which is unlike any standard Bp I’ve ever had or repaired.

    Drawing the line on surface rust (used Bridgeport)

    I like to check for oil on the base which suggests they were actually using the one shot lube. Also, wear is the concern vs surface appearance. A lot of backlash and gouged ways and price drops massively.
