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!!!
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.
How has the self-teaching been going? I am just starting this process and plan on buying a bridgeport this week. So much of machining is over my head but if I start with the basics, I figure I can learn enough to learn the next level.
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.
Og Bqze probabaly cause manual machining is not needed anymore cnc much more acurate and efficent. I'm just speculating that most of these old guys are probabaly not machining anymore just running cnc or not even in the field anymore ect. Mad their career is a hobby now basicly
og thats whats wrong with this world your just enableing this gye and sticking up for him witch is wrong. he has to accept responsibility for being wrong. respect is earned not granted if this kid wants respect he better step up his game. when i was in school not everyone passed to the next grade but not nowadays everyone passes and thats not right thats why this world is getting more screwed up everyday. an a deserves credit an f means FAIL. simple.
@@stevend4544 I worked in software and electronics for over 20 years. Started working as a CNC operator. It really helped that I had learned 3D printing and CAD. As I learn about the CNC and dream of milling a complex part on a 5-axis mill, I'm also starting to really get interested and wanting to learn a manual mill. What you learn on a manual mill is about tools, material, and other fundamentals. There are definitely older experts who perhaps struggle with the computerized part of new tech, their fundamental knowledge is of huge value.
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.
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
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 RUclips , 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 !!!!
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
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...
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.
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.
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.
Shit!! People. Get out side your paradigm! For those who know nothing about a mill, this is good stuff. For those people wanting to learn, don't put all your learning eggs in one video. Good Job, young man. We can tell your not a master. However, that doesn't distract from your video. Keep it up, don't mind the haters. Actually, 5 years later, you might just be a master now. LOL.
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.
If you are going to have someone teach people how to use a mill, They need to be told the right way. The back gear handle he is calling the brake is not true. The spindle brake is on top left side of the head. The lever he is calling the brake in truth is call the back gear lever. That's how you change from high to low gears. Get it right !!!!
Timothy Skelton Man thanks! I've been using the brake hand all this time and was wondering why he was calling the other lever the brake. We have the exact same mill at work.
So weird, I’m doing the same in my dad’s 50 yr in business motorcycle shop. He used to sell and work on British bikes. We now work on everything from Harley to Honda
I knew that machine inside and out, a very well thought out design. The head tilts on two axises and the head can be positioned in and out. The head can be rotated on the column . There's even a horizontal attachment. You can spin the head 180 and with a broaching head on the other end do broaching. Point to point verified with a CMM it could hold +/- .0005 with the right technics. You could bore holes and hold diameters at .0005" and under in tolerance. I made good middle class money using machines like these and eventually going into CNC but never strayed to far from a bridgeport for certain jobs. Now a days these are mostly in the maintenance department of manufacturing shops as CNC has taken over in production settings. But back in the day there would be rows of these machines with a machinist on every one.
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.
also. if you are really doing a "how to" you should start with "sweeping in" your vice with a test dial indicator. then also using a piece of square stock and actually making it perfectly square before you begin. then maybe get an engineer drawing and figure out how to read the datum planes to determine which cuts to make first and what tools. after all of that then can discuss feeds and speeds and chip load etc.
I agree dumbing down the set up from the start will damage the part and machine. This is a real basic set up assuming the machine is already squared up
Great video much appreciated And anyone who dares to give this guy shit I'd love to see you do better on your channel, oh but wait you haven't posted anything you mainly have RUclips to criticize others while u do nothing 🥳👏
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!
Thanks, really useful video with lots of helpful nformation. I have not used a milling machine for 45 years! Interested though its calibrated in inches. Is it a reslly old machine?
you did not find the center of any tool. when you zeroed your x axis. once your edge finder "kicked" you should then make sure the tool clears above your part and then move the x exactly the radius of your edge finder. (radius is half of the diameter). then the center of your spindle will be exactly over the edge of your stock. the way you did it your x axis dimensions will be off by the radius of yiur edgefinder
exactly devin i noticed that as well another goof up on his part and if he is the student he didnt learn that part very well he was probably texting on his phone.
That is a Bridgeport. Any milling machine can face mill when done properly, even the tiny micro mills. The surface finish is dictated by many factors such as the type of material being machined, machine rigidity, tool sharpness and the relief angle ground into it, having the machine trammed so all the axis are aligned, and using appropriate speeds and feeds more than what machine the cut is made on.
Ok so I'm thinking of getting a mill so this is all new to me when he set the bit with the paper would he have to line the cutting part along the tube to find the very top on the front to back axes bit xyz part don't know its name yet sorry he could of had the bit just of center/ top of tube when he zeroed the bit at the top hope this makes sense
This press has worked like a charm for my projects ruclips.net/user/postUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice breakdown of the parts that are included in the kit. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.This was an excellent purchase for $40!!
Painfull to watch but.... I assume he is a novice learning an all but lost skill. So let's cut him a break and let the journeyman he will be working under bust his balls like we had during our apprenticeships. He did know enough to take the backlash out and to turn the knee breaker around!!!
Please, compre una fresadora igual a la suya, pero desarmada, y no tengo los planos eléctricos, Ud me podría enviar fotos de la instalación de su maquina , seria de gran ayuda para mi, God blesses you.
Great video! My only question, isn't the on/off switch in a relatively difficult to reach and risky location? I've seen some of these machines include a panel that you can move around and even have an emergency stop button
Not really. This is a manual machine, so it's gonna be more difficult to crash. I think you're talking about CNC, where you will definitely need an E-stop button.
@@johnfrazier5458 Penetrov is right. That switch is definitely in a bad location where you have the potential to reach across the point of operation to shut it off. While doing so, you could inadvertently contact the rotating part (or clothing could).
Nice Sir. good morning sir how are you.cant me applying in your company as machinist operator lathe turning and milling machine.11yrs experience I know operate this machine.
Thanks man. I’m helping students on their mill lab and that was more than I needed. Straight on point and concise. Thanks much for that and keep doing what you do.🫡
He kind of knows what he's doing I guess. Terminology is off alot of the time. He uses both hands to crank the knee up, dead giveaway he hasn't been using that machine a whole lot. I never use the brake, just flip the switch in the opposite direction for a second and it'll stop. Most brakes don't work anymore anyway.
I'm just learning manual milling, and I automatically use only one hand to crank the knee up and down. Glad to know I'm already doing it like a pro! Lol
Dont you have to adjust .100" for the thickness of the edge finder? If you 0 on the edge that is not the center of your tool. Also you should edge find your Y before the Z. That way when you takw your Z you are actually centered.
You did not actually find the edge. You found .1” away from the edge (assuming the edge finder end dia of .2”). You’d have to move the dial an extra .5*dia when zeroing.
This is an excellent reminder of why you CAN NOT trust all RUclips video tutorials. As someone who is a Machinist and has worked in the Trade for 20 years, this video is almost entirely wrong.
@@plymouth-hl20ton37 Agreed.... at least he's trying... probably in a Trade School or becoming an Engineer. At least he's not sitting in the basement playing Pokemon and wanting a handout
I know it is an edge finder but STOP putting your finger next to a spinning bit ! One of your students might think it is okay. One of them will loose their stupid hand to an end mill.
That twisty thing on top that screws into the collet is called a "quill"... and those blocks held in the vise with parallels are "V-Blocks" Yeah, you are in your third day of class...
Dude... Show the cut you made or better yet show the cut happening or both. All the close up stuff for the edge finder was great but then you don't get to see the result of all that work up close.
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.

Well said. Everyone react differently to “pressure on the spot”. Personally I would freeze up and wouldn’t talk at all
I think you're right on...I built my house but I wouldn't be the best person to instruct someone to build theirs.
I agree with you thanks for pointing this iut
Those who can do, those that dont, teach. Those that can't do either, criticize.
You write like a guy who didn’t go to school.

dont know if ya mentiond but make sure to account for the offset of the radius of the edge finder usually .100
I noticed that too.
Glad I'm not alone... been 10 years and for some reason .100 is my instinct
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

Good day to you sir you are a good teacher please tell me what is the name and model of your milling machine
Most likely a Bridgeport series 1 knee mill
Thanks, really useful video with lots of helpful nformation. I have not used a milling machine for 45 years! Interested though its calibrated in inches. Is it a reslly old machine?
Thank you for sharing will keep on practicing.
Nice video bro,I want more videos
2:25 - your 3/16" collet looks a lot like 1/2 inch to me.
Don't think edge finders are made in .1875" diameter.
Its actually a 3/8ths body with the .200 diameter edge finder
Great instruction!
you did not find the center of any tool. when you zeroed your x axis. once your edge finder "kicked" you should then make sure the tool clears above your part and then move the x exactly the radius of your edge finder. (radius is half of the diameter). then the center of your spindle will be exactly over the edge of your stock. the way you did it your x axis dimensions will be off by the radius of yiur edgefinder
it seems he adjusted later for the radius, see 14:44
Why don't you make a tutorial since you know everything about everything? I'd like to see you embaress yourself.
exactly devin i noticed that as well another goof up on his part and if he is the student he didnt learn that part very well he was probably texting on his phone.
Yea I was just thinking this but I didn’t want to bash him like I’m doing this right now in my work study and he did skip a few things
Can it face mill? If so, what kind of surface finish tolerance can it produce? It should produce better surface finishes than a bridgeport?
That is a Bridgeport. Any milling machine can face mill when done properly, even the tiny micro mills. The surface finish is dictated by many factors such as the type of material being machined, machine rigidity, tool sharpness and the relief angle ground into it, having the machine trammed so all the axis are aligned, and using appropriate speeds and feeds more than what machine the cut is made on.
Great video
The first thing you do on a Bridgeport is tram the head in . To make sure the head is square with the table .
Steps starts on 2:45
one of the best manual mills that should be in every school with machinery. old school
Not at true 0 though... I reckon it's off 0 by half your edgefinding tool width?
Are they any in person classes in this topic?
X, Y, and Z my guy
Need a DRO that full on manual shjt is for the birds
Ok so I'm thinking of getting a mill so this is all new to me when he set the bit with the paper would he have to line the cutting part along the tube to find the very top on the front to back axes bit xyz part don't know its name yet sorry he could of had the bit just of center/ top of tube when he zeroed the bit at the top hope this makes sense

Animal radius .500 so to make zero we need to go in half of the radius as .250 did you explain that please...!
I have booth a bridge port milling with the spider bolts missing, .
is there some one how can tell me what type of tried it is and how long
Good teacher
You didn't even show the locations of each part. that will leave people confused.
The lever you're referring to as "In and Out" is not a brake it's part of the back gear arrangement... Read the manual.
You act like you've read an entire manual before....... You're barking up the wrong tree there bud. Go talk to a therapist if you're that unhappy.
this gye is a goof up and should not be teaching and anyone that cant see what i just said has brain damage. simple.
@@OGbqze what are you, this kid's boyfriend? He obviously doesn't know the 1st thing about machining... stop making excuses for him.
At least he tried....
Good job sir! For sure you want to work on your terminology but keep it up!
Painfull to watch but.... I assume he is a novice learning an all but lost skill.
So let's cut him a break and let the journeyman he will be working under bust his balls like we had during our apprenticeships.
He did know enough to take the backlash out and to turn the knee breaker around!!!
you are slamming that vise handle down on that precision ground, then hand scraped table. Not good.
Yeah, he does appear to be peening that table surface with every piece of metal he picks up.

Nice Sir. good morning sir how are you.cant me applying in your company as machinist operator lathe turning and milling machine.11yrs experience I know operate this machine.
your vice handle should work for your drawbar.I got real fast at it :) watching people use a wrench seems painfully slow.
Your "grips" are actually called v-blocks. They are used for holding round stock during milling operations. Lost me right after that.
Good job
What is the mark of youre machine?
I used Bridgeport's from high school to retirement.
Thanks man. I’m helping students on their mill lab and that was more than I needed. Straight on point and concise. Thanks much for that and keep doing what you do.🫡
You never verified the vice was squared up before you set up your part. A flat face doesn't mean a perpendicular one.
Hi I am a lathe and milling machine operator. Can I be given this work visa? I am speaking from Bangladesh.
hello the verniers of the screws are in fractions of inches or millimeters? Do you get all the spare parts of the machine ???
It's a machine in our factory.
How do you change gears bruh. This is essential. How could you miss giving this information....
his long sleeves make me nervous
He kind of knows what he's doing I guess. Terminology is off alot of the time. He uses both hands to crank the knee up, dead giveaway he hasn't been using that machine a whole lot. I never use the brake, just flip the switch in the opposite direction for a second and it'll stop. Most brakes don't work anymore anyway.
I'm just learning manual milling, and I automatically use only one hand to crank the knee up and down. Glad to know I'm already doing it like a pro! Lol
Dont you have to adjust .100" for the thickness of the edge finder? If you 0 on the edge that is not the center of your tool. Also you should edge find your Y before the Z. That way when you takw your Z you are actually centered.
Thanks you so much
You did not actually find the edge. You found .1” away from the edge (assuming the edge finder end dia of .2”). You’d have to move the dial an extra .5*dia when zeroing.
You are exactly .100 from edge of part.
Bad zero, scrap part.
Why does he keep calling the spindle a chuck?
You are not using the actual brake handle. Damn!
Oh boy... some people were not made to teach
A lot of fun walking
3:50 That edge finder's not the sharpest tool in the box !
This is an excellent reminder of why you CAN NOT trust all RUclips video tutorials.
As someone who is a Machinist and has worked in the Trade for 20 years, this video is almost entirely wrong.
Renegade Maine yeah I'm thinking the same thing but you got to give the kid some credit he's at least trying
@@plymouth-hl20ton37 Agreed.... at least he's trying... probably in a Trade School or becoming an Engineer. At least he's not sitting in the basement playing Pokemon and wanting a handout
Might be helpful to explain why...
@@CodyKing 4 months and still not responding, maybe like all mexican machinists he don`t want to tell his knowledge and secrets.
Great try, but if you are showing someone how to do something incorrectly, you are not helping anyone.
Unsafe act ,proper ppe
I know it is an edge finder but STOP putting your finger next to a spinning bit ! One of your students might think it is okay. One of them will loose their stupid hand to an end mill.
I always give the edge finder a flick while its spinning, no problem with that.
Hey dude... It's actually a quill, NOT a chuck...!
i didnt like the way you just dropped the vice spanner onto the bed of the mill.. dings and bruises add up !
That twisty thing on top that screws into the collet is called a "quill"... and those blocks held in the vise with parallels are "V-Blocks"
Yeah, you are in your third day of class...
It's actually called a draw bar....
And spindle
It is nice. learn some thing
I hope they oiled that Z screw by now.
Looking at this person it explains why CNC is becoming increasingly popular computer generation
Happy teachers day
Dude... Show the cut you made or better yet show the cut happening or both. All the close up stuff for the edge finder was great but then you don't get to see the result of all that work up close.
I love it ,I love manual, lathe and milling machine. NOTE: just don't drop the vise wrench on the milling machine table 🙄 😑!!!!!!😂🦴
Rajinder forging and Engg works
Ok
Climb milling on a manual Bridgeport? Dear oh dear...
He's cutting plastic. :)
233kosta what's wrong with climb Milling in a Bridgeport
all of that and we dont even get to see the cut
