Bridgeport Series I mill
Over the past 37 years, Bridgeport Machine Rebuilders has rebuilt over 1,721 and repaired over 11,476 Bridgeport milling machines across the country. Our service department prides itself with the vast knowledge and expertise to efficiently solve your problems in a cost effective manner. We can rebuild your worn out Bridgeport mill or sell you a rebuilt Bridgeport mill from our inventory and significantly reduce your downtime.
Hand scraping is what gives Bridgeport milling machines a distinctive feel. Bridgeport Machine Rebuilders hand scrapes bearing surfaces on all the mating surfaces of the iron; column ways, dovetails, saddle, and the gibs. This provides a customized surface to surface fit.
All ways are scraped to original tolerances, set by Bridgeport Machine.
The lubrication system is the most important component of the way surfaces. At times the lube system will be overlooked and for lack of a better word, neglected. We focus on this important part of the machine to insure a longer life for the machine rebuild.
As you can see, every Bridgeport mill is a candidate for a machine rebuild. Bridgeport Machine has produced a quality machine for many years, knowingly or unknowingly setting the stage for machine rebuilders as a competitor. Our Bridgeport rebuilding service can and will produce a milling machine comparable to a new Bridgeport machine, for 50-60% of the cost of a new machine. Our process will return your mill to it's original condition, with a 1-year warranty.
