Now that it has stopped raining I'm able to get these mills moved. I still have a lathe to pick up up, but I need to get my backhoe running (water pump) and unload the Bridgeport first.
This little Atlas horizontal mill will be just the ticket for cutting rails into 1911 frames.
Too bad build parties are a thing of the past. Push your frame to the stops clamp it down and flip the switch.
Power feed!

I have been learning a ton about Bridgeport mills, and what to look for when finding one. This one was free but as it turns out it's in great shape. The way scraping is one of the first things to look for.
