Manual Mill Tutorial

[heavenlymachining]

I don't like schools. " those who can do, Those who can't teach" I know I have relatives who are teachers. But I believe you guys are being extra hard on this guy. Making videos makes some people nervous and you can't remember all the terminology or points of interest when you are nervous. I think he did a pretty good job for the message he was trying to get across. If you want to know all of the points in perfection you have to do it for a living for a while. Remember this is just part of school, just the basics. SO BE NICE !!!

I work with my father in the shop he’s been at and there is a Bridgeport Mill Machine but no one has the time to teach me! This video is going to help out so much, thank you!!!

[garysimmons]

I have my fathers shop now and I have that exact Bridge port and this video along with books I bought on Machining is going to help me very to self teach myself how to use it and machine. This is the best video for learning the machine I have seen yet thank you very much and You have a new subscriber. Have a great day.

The bridgeport milling machine is one of the best machines for manufacturing precision parts. I was working for many years when I was young with an equal and when I watch the video I remember those times. Greetings from Spain

Wish my Hungarian husband would make a few vid's on maching. ( Not my site here) he is now 73 years old but was trianed for nearly 4 years in communist Hungary in a machine trade schol. First year was all classroom work then the next years he worked 3 days in school and 3 days under a master in a factory. By age 18 he was a fully trained machinist.I'm an air head hairdresser and he used to set up his Bridgport mill for me to work on. I just had to get to the stop and remember to stop. He set it up som even I could run the mill.He knew milling but was a master lathe machinist, worked on the old space shuttles and many other big projects in the past. Bought his Bridgport mill from Sandia Labs in NM. It was stored outside in the weather and all beat up, husband rewired it, repainted it and made it good as new, sold it when we closed down our shop. People were literally ready to fight to be the first to bid on buying it.

No wonder this shits dying... Do you guys see these comments? This guy is trying his best, and all you guys are doing is talking down on him... Take a step back and be realistic for once. I'm sure you guys have done most of the things this guy did that you claim is "wrong" or what he shouldn't be doing. Maybe try telling him "good effort kid" or "glad to see some youngsters I this dying field" instead of saying "this guy needs to find a different career, maybe drive taxis". Have some respect.

I'm 60 years old. My dad worked at Rockwell International in Columbus, Ohio. as a machinist. I remember him bringing home a strip of punch tape. I distinctly remember him saying that it would one day replace him. Old school machinist are few. Sad!

I've watched alot of vids on milling Bridgeport mills in particular, this was more informative than even the more detailed vidoes on YouTube, I did notice a few discrepancies as pertaining to proper termanolgy but overall very informative for anyone wanting to learn about a bridgeport or any vertical mill really, awesome !!!!

[grymgaming]

dont know if ya mentiond but make sure to account for the offset of the radius of the edge finder usually .100

[Macken-nl]

When you use the edge finder, did you make sure to add or subtract the radius of that edge finder? Because your setting it to the outside diameter of the edge finder not the actual zero itself. Otherwise your drill will be offset by the radius of your edge finder

Not bad overall..the grippers is called V block.

This brings me back. I loved the Bridgeport milling machine. A 4 year apprenticeship in toolmaking

When it come to the manual lathe, make some noise for the Colchester.

[duanepayne]

The Bridgeport is one of the best machines ever made. It has been said that you can make another Bridgeport on one of these.

[mundrubjet]

Very glad to see this... Machining is going away... but it is ever needed still...no kid will ever repair his cell phone with this...but he will repair his car...Ol Sarge...

[davidgould]

The lever he calls the "Brake" changes the gears for fast or slow range RPM's. The Brake lever is above the letter "B" in the word Bridgeport in the front top of the machine. No tutorial on manual Milling Machines or Manual Lathes can be complete without a talk about Backlash.

Are those dials really that accurate or do they have to be calibrated every so often? I took a 6 week class at Chabot College in Hayward, CA in the late 90's and knew nothing about the milling machine. But once I got started I loved it. The lathe too, but my mill partner made us fall behind by overcutting our parts and we had to start over and I didn't get as much time on the lathe as I'd wanted and I really wanted to learn how to cut threads. That was the last time I touched the machines.

Ive seen so many vids. This one is decent. Open Source Machining has the best ones, imo. They are from an MIT instructor at MIT about prototype machining for the robotics department. I highly recommend them to anyone starting out.

[benita]

I think he did a fantastic job at explaining on how to use the mill, man so many key board warrior comments from a bunch of beta males raised by mama!

[iHustle]

is there a manual mill that allows you to move it by pushing with your hands front back and side to side vs having to twist those handles? i been looking for a manual one or a cnc machining that can do 1" to 3" deep cuts. i am new to this but i learn quick. lmk and thanks in advance!

[wojtczak]

i know i may sound like a know it all. i looked this video up because where I work. we have to take a test where we are just given a drawing, a rough cut piece of stock and the mill you are standing infront of. i have experience doing all of this but wanted a refresher as it has been a year since I have milled anything at all. so my point is. if I were to follow your instructions as you present them now. I would fail. just trying to help.
