Bridgeport 6F Power feed

Hi all,

as I have been overwhelmed with the replies and offers of assistance on the forum's I thought it might be time to try and offer some help and assistance of my own to a worthy cause.

Having replaced my Bridgeport 6F power feed a few days ago now I have a spare, mostly functional power feed available to a good home.

It slipped on occasion when in use and hence the reason for my changing it out. I could have lived with it, as it only slipped occasionally especially at higher speeds, but by turning the speed down and then back up again it would be ok for a while. Looking at the makeup of the unit on the parts list there is not so much internal parts to go wrong, "I guess it could be the clutch" so perhaps with a little bit of TLC someone without one might be able to repair it and make good use of it.

It will require you to have a110V supply tap on your machine cabinet transformer, but I think most Bridgeport's have the same transformer fitted so it would just be matter of tapping off for its supply.

So if anyone near me wants the unit, I also have the various levers etc to go onto the table, as well as the table mount which holds the unit and the bearings for the table traverse handle etc if they can convince me that they are going to use it themselves and not strip if for parts and sell it on I would be happy for them to come and collect it.

Else, I suppose I could be talked into packaging it up for a courier that you pay for and arrange to collect at a convenient time.

In the unlikely event that I am inundated "You never Know" with just good causes I will pick the winner out of a hat, to try and be as fair as I can.

If your interested give me a good reason for me to give it to you

I hope to help someone out!

Gary
