Bridgeport Mill J1 Rebuild
Once the turret is in place on the base pedestal, you can reach through the pedestal door with one
arm to hold the cross brace while inserting the bolts through the turret. Figure 33 below shows a
view of the cross member that most people don’t generally see. I took this picture from inside of
the base pedestal looking up to illustrate the boss extrusions that the cross member will rest on
during the installation process. Make sure that you have installed
all
bolts and gotten them finger
tight before attempting to tighten the bolts or move the turret.
