toujours un plaisir de vous voir démonter cette fraiseuse. cela m'a beaucoup aidé. merci beaucoup..
Retired from a small shop three months ago, got a call today from them their biggest Bridgeport quit working. Going in Monday morning just like I used to, hoping this series of videos will help. Thanks!
Dude is a genius, remembers the part number and knows each and every single screw name, location and it’s purpose. Excellent video.
Barry, I have watched about all the videos you've made on the Bridgeport mill. I must tell what a great job you have done in presenting them and your ability to explain on the possibilities, problem and what to watch out for when doing the job. I must commend you and thank you for sharing your knowledge with me. Thank You!
These videos made by H&M with Barry are without doubt some of the most important pieces of guidance on the entire internet for anyone who owns a Bridgeport or any older type machine. Simple explanation and demonstration step by step. Priceless free tuition! Thanks Guys - Awesome job!
Bridgeport is a complicated marvel. And to think, engineers drafted all the mechanicals out with sliderules and pencils. Also, I have witnessed a number of very good mechanics struggle with the repair manuals over the 45 years I was a machinist. These videos are a true blessing for future mechanics.
that patternmakers took those drawings, figured out core boxes, prints, patterns... someone had to setup lathes to cut screws, set up stinking big planers to run through body castings... sometimes... it just seems a little bit insane...
WOW I got a 1954 round ram power downed never worked from the day I traded for it maybe I'll watch this video a couple hundred more times and tackle it someday
Barry and everyone at H&W machine repair, you guys are doing a great service to society by posting this videos, thank you
This is when you know wtf you are doing.... You just chuck the parts in a basket for cleaning! Good demo tearing this thing down. Thank you!
Thanks Barry for the parts and timely video
Great video helped me out a lot . Thank you
Very informative, outstanding and truly shining among all BP videos. Tnx a lot.
Very well presented! Thank you for sharing!
Outstanding job on the video.
Look forward to seeing the removal of the feed worn shaft / reverse clutch rod. If that are my only repairs, I imagine I can skip much of this?
The best in the business, hands down. Arguably even better than the current Bridgeport themselves.
Great video, thank you! I am anxious for the next step as I have a problem with my quail feed forward reverse lever that sticks out of the front. It’s stuck in down and will not up-feed. Do you have a plan for a video describing disassembly and repair? Thanks again. 👍🏽
Yes. Pls do the removal of the power down feed control. I managed to snap a tap in mine cleaning up the thread so now I need to disassemble the whole thing to fix it.
Thanks. Very helpful.
Truly enjoyed this. :D
This video saved me a bunch of grief. Thank you. I need to take my power feed reverse knob and shaft down to a point to figure out why it's binding?? Waiting for the next video.
Have you found a solution?
@@J0Gu7 I took it apart, cleaned and deburred. I replaced a couple parts. Works great now. I was surprised to find soft steel parts. SHARP -TMV, 3hp 3,300# BP clone.
Great video, I’ll be watching all your videos on this mill, I’m currently do the same with my 1978. I posted the disassembly & painting video. Not sure how far I’ll go on the quill
Easy fix, thanks for sharing.
If you guys ever get an Ex-Cell-O 602 in I would love to see some videos on it. I'm working on one because someone painted it by dumping a bucket of paint on it and slathering it with a brush all over the controls and moving parts.
Thank's for the video, was grate, may Bridgeport B is 1 1/2 hp this one has a problem where the quill is not smooth as it rides up and down, what might be the problem? I'm about to disassemble it going by your video, is there a assembly video for the quill? Do you think I have to disassemble the hole to and quill to free it up. This machine was stored for some time and got wet. Thanks for your inputs and if you have the time for the assembly video
Excellent video. I got everything apart, except the 1402 steel ball will not budge. I tried the magnet trick, but no luck. Any other tips? I am about to cut off the handwheel clutch with an angle grinder.
Muchas gracias, me ayudó mucho este video!
Thank you guys!!!
amazingly helpful.
I would love to install an R8 Spindle in a 1965 Gorton Supermill
what great videos.....
I can almost hear the Millennials freaking out at the lack of gloves used for your tear-downs. BTW, thanks for posting them. VERY helpful!
Any chance you would have some parts for a supermax ycm16vs milling machine quill feed? I need the clutch engagement handle and possibly some other parts. Looks like the same as a Bridgeport.
appriciated your skill
dud, ok, so Im gonna fix my z feed , i so got this, thanks ,, this is gold ,
please make one foe re-assembly thank you for you awesome videos
Hello, thank you for the super thorough videos and awesome diagrams on your website. I just picked up a 2hp vari-speed machine, early 80's vintage and the quill sticks in the housing at various points of travel. The whole machine was thoroughly crusted with dried out oil and I have been trying to spray the thing down with LPS #2 in the hope of getting the crust loosened up, which has been working pretty good. One thing I have noticed is that the quill skirt is chewed up right where the quill stop hits the edge of the part and I suspect that this is binding up in the casting. Is there anything else in particular I should look for that may be causing the binding?
Paul, The only other thing that would be causing the binging, in your case, would be the dirt and grime and possible metal chips that have gotten up there. You will need to remove the quill and clean the inside of the housing and the outside of the quill. You can give us a call if you have any other questions 1-800-285-5271
If the power down feed doesn't work do you know what usually is the problem?
Great video. Thank you. But the part I was hoping to see is the part that you did not do at the very end. Any chance you care going to make that video any time soon? My fine feed wheel grinds and is hard to turn.

Well done Sir and only in 16 minutes and 38 seconds. New subscriber I like your channel and have you book marked should I need any parts.
Hi Barry, your videos and explanation are perfect!!! I have a Bridgeport Mill. and the quill nose nut is jam any tips, how to get this out? Thank you for your help!
That can be a loaded question. Can you give us a call today and we can talk you through it. 1-800-285-5271 or 260-422-0020
Yet another awesome video! I wish I knew half of what you have forgotten! Can you tell me if this level of breakdown is required to replace quill spindle bearings or can that be done by just removing top housing and front parts?
Hi Tristan, we made a video on how to remove the spindle from your head without tearing it apart. Be warned that it is one of our earliest videos, so it's not the best quality: kzhead.info/sun/h5WSerWNp4CrlIk/bejne.html&ab_channel=H%26WMachineRepairandRebuilding
Je le regarde pour la 7eme fois.
Excelente
The magnet trick works good, order it and you wont be sorry, but FYI if your fingers are oily and slick DO NOT grip it with pliers it will shatter.
Would be awesome to see some Series II work if you ever work on them.
I’ve had the pleasure of doing one. They’re really neat!
@@mrmichael555 Not sure I would call it a pleasure considering the price of the parts and the lack of information on them but they are awesome when they're everything works
@@Steve_Just_Steve that part wasn’t fun. I did it in the early 2000s, and Bridgeport did not like sharing information with me. But I did a total rebuild, scraped it in and retrofitted with ballscrews and cnc.
@@mrmichael555 Thats awesome! A lot of work! take care of those feed motors! I just had one go out and wow they are proud of them!
@@Steve_Just_Steve I did the machine for a customer, it was already a good original machine. It broke my heart. I had to take all that stuff off for the cnc to go on. I don’t know what ever happened to the parts.
Is this procedure similar to the seiresII-4J quill removal? Love the videos!!!
Hi Lee, if you have a Series II special with a 2HP motor, then yes this would be the same. If you have a true Series II with a 4HP head then the process is going to be completely different, true Series II machines are a different beast. Please feel free to give us a call and we can talk it through if you have any questions. -Barry
@@HWMachRepair HI Barry, Thank you so much for this response!!! Yep it is a 4hp seriesII . I will call when I'm able to play with it. Thanks for these videos!
Thanks for the video, really helpful, just wondered what the deal is if the rare earth magnet doesn't work on the 1402 Steel Ball? I can't get mine out.
Sorry for the late reply. If you don't have the ball out yet you can give me a call at 1-800-285-5271. There are a few things that you can try but it's dependent on few things. -Barry
All sorted now but thanks for the offer of help!
I used a string of 2mm magnets, amazing how strong they are!
@@piersdowell832 im struggling with removing the ball, going to look for more small magnets..
Another good video... Q. Is the skirt supposed to limit the travel of the quill????
Hi Red, No, the quill skirt should not limit the travel of your quill. The quill skirt is there to drop down when you move your quill to prevent chips from getting on the top of the spindle. If yours is limiting the travel you can give me a call to discuss how to fix the issue 1-800-285-5271.
enjoyed
I have the H&W overhaul manual, and the sequence of takedown is almost completely opposite of this. The way it's shown in this video is better.
The ball bearing in the feed trip assembly is jammed in there pretty solid and I have no magnet. Any ideas on how to get it out?
There are a couple of ways that might work, but it would be easier with a phone call: 1-800-285-5271 -Barry
Im needing to pull the quill will i have to do the whole disassembly process to do so?
Unfortunately yes, and it's due to the quill skirt. Some of the items you will be able to take off in whole assemblies, but to get to the quill you need to get pretty far into it. Give us a call if you have any questions or want to talk it through: 1-800-285-5271
Great job!! Thanks Jerry Chesterton..can I send you a Bridgeport head?
You can. If you want to either give us a call at 1-800-285-5271 or email Virginia at support@hwmachinerepair.com we can get you set up.
I’m running a cnc on my Bridgeport would you remove the clock spring so the cnc isn’t fighting against it?
We always keep the clock spring in when doing a retrofit. Especially if you have a 3rd axis similar to the Elrod style or an Acu-Rite MillPWR where you can disengage the motor/drive from the quill, then your quill will simply fall. -Jon
Berry, at the end of this video you indicated there would be another covering the auto feed direction shaft and I hope all the related stuff in there. Do you still plan to do such a video? Thanks
Barry says that we will make that our next video. We do have 2 filmed and being edited, so it won't be the next one we release, but it will be the next one we film. Until then, if you have any questions feel free to give us a call and we can help you out: 1-800-285-5271
My reverse trip ball lever is snapped off; I have managed to remove the threaded end, but do you have any advice on extracting the other half?
We actually have a video on that issue: kzhead.info/sun/d5xqg92fon5qpGg/bejne.html&ab_channel=H%26WMachineRepairandRebuilding If you are still having issues after watching this, feel free to give us a call and we can help walk you through it. 1-800-285-5271
@@HWMachRepair Thank you so much for that! It did the trick!
I am cleaning a 1978 BP Mill I just got. In htis video you are removing the cover on the power feed control and mentioned the small screw being removed and behind it is a small spring and ball. I got that far and then couldn't get the ball out. I have a fairly strong magnet that fits in the hole, but does not grab the ball. I have soaked the shaft and ball in engine cleaner and nothing. Still stuck in there. Anybody have a suggestion? Bob
We can give you more tips, but it would be easier if you gave us a call: 1-800-285-5271
quill skirt. i think thats what it may be... only here cus i wanted to see if a bridgeport has some way of adjusting the sliding fit of that quill... i havent got a bridgeport, just a fancy drill press advertised as a mill... and the quill to housing fit leaves MUCH to be desired. i was hoping id find bridgeports run something like split conical bushes on tapered seats or something, so you can snug em up tight... but it doesnt look like it, just that... quill skirt. anyway, i still think its a worthwhile mod to a horrid little mill that has to make do until i happen across a decent BP or clone of... man. when you look at teh design of these machines, you gotta remind yourself... this was all in BC... before computers. everything drawn by hand, visualised inside heads, and transferred to raw stock... like most anything prior to the 80s...
how to change bearing from this spindle do u have that video too
We don't have a video done yet, but we do have a set of written instructions. If you email support@hwmachinerepair.com Virginia can email you the instructions.
On the part 1033-03 if it is broke like you say they often are how is best to remove the broken bit left in ?
We made a video on that: kzhead.info/sun/d5xqg92fon5qpGg/bejne.html check it out and if you still have any questions give us a call: 1-800-285-5271
@@HWMachRepair I don't happen to have a suitable rare earth magnets and also live in England so not sure what the price would be to buy and have one sent to me
@@dom109bikes It would be pricy to ship for something so small. Check your local hardware stores. Other places that you may be able to find them that you may not think of is craft stores, office supply stores, or teacher supply stores. They will sometimes sell the rare earth magnets.

What do you do when the little ball does not come out and when only one balls comes out with the 5-40 screw and the broken off part stays in the hole.
We have a video with some further tips for removing that part when it's broken.: kzhead.info/sun/d5xqg92fon5qpGg/bejne.html If you are still having issues, you can give us a call and speak to either Barry or Heather and they can take you through some of the more advanced ways to get that out: 1-800-285-5271 / 260-422-0020
Can you remove the spindle assembly without dismanting the gear assembly just out of interest. Ive got some areas on my machine that need attention, bearings been just one of them which I'm looking to sort over winter. All the best Alex
kzhead.info/sun/h5WSerWNp4CrlIk/bejne.html Yes you can do that. The above link will take you to our video which shows how to do this.

Can you please put out a reassembly video :-)
We had one made, but the background noise was so bad we had to scrap it. This is one of the ones we are planning on doing in the near future.
@@HWMachRepair Please - rebuilding now and I figure not as simple to put back and you probably save us some time. Great delivery on parts BTW.
I lost my 1402-Steel Ball. Can I find the diameter in the parts list??
They are 3/16" . I'm not sure the parts breakdown says or not.
Wasn't for his videos, I'd have to had junked my J head.
sometimes it is easy ... sometimes it is not !
What the heck do you do if the little ball won’t come out. 6:35
