Publihsed in the USA by ILION Industrial Services, LLC

Just in time for your winter project, ILION Industrial Services ispleased to announce this brand new edition of our popular Bridgeport renovation manual which is written specifically for variable speed models. If you are planning on refurbishing your existing Bridgeport Series 1 "2J" or "2J2" Mill (With Variable Speed Head) or if you are out in the market looking for a good used Bridgeport, then this manual is a great place to start. " A Guide to Renovating the Bridgeport 2J Variable Speed Milling Machine " ; our 152 page soft cover shop manual, is fully illustrated with over 400 B&W photographs and diagrams, plus step-by-step instructions for disassembling, cleaning, reassembling and adjusting all of the critical components of the variable speed 2J head milling machine. Bridgeport never produced a full blown maintenance manual for their mills so this is the closest you will come to a step-by-step guide. Please take a look at the sample pages in the photos above for an example of what to expect. The photos can be enlarged by clicking the button beneath the photos. The typeface of the manual is printed two points larger than normal for those of us who prefer to work at the bench without the use of our reading glasses. The instructions are simple and easy to follow... no prior machinery renovation experience is required. Though the Bridgeport is an industrial machine, it is well suited for the home garage shop or small business and the task of finding one, getting it home and getting it back into operating condition is not as expensive and daunting as you may think. Let us show you how. If you are interested in the Bridgeport J Head (The Step Pulley Model), please check out our other listings for that book.
