Bridgeport Torq-Cut TC4G Retrofit

Well time to begin a new retrofit...

I get to start on them in the next couple weeks by first cleaning them down and getting some new paint on the tin.

The machines are 2000 Bridgeport Torq-Cut TC2G and a 4G. Will update when the actual work begins and see what happens

You are having too much fun!

Thanks... I believe I will be having tons of fun doing these.

Unfortunately I need to finish getting the shop together and floors painted before I begin. Moved 10hrs from my old shop and starting over, but this gives me an opportunity to do the things I wish I would have the first time.

The fun has begun.

* Floors painted (Had my kids throw the paint sprinkle chips. They had a blast doing that)
* Ran power to machine (Ignore the temp wire connections. Will finish conduit once machine is on the floor)
* Tested all functions of machine
* Began disassembly and cleaning (Machine is filthy behind the scenes)
* Looking over mechanical components for issues (Found bad X axis thrust bearing. Appears rusted badly on the left side of X axis. Makes me think machine may not have been level and also do not see any drainage holes.)

Will update more as I make progress with the cleaning, painting, and assembly. Then comes LCNC goodness...
