For hobby use or actual shop use? Bridgeports are solid machines, even when they're bad there are companies that specialize in rebuilding bridgeports beyond factory specs :o. Just remember you still need tooling which will cost a fair amount of money.

Seems like a solid deal to me as long as nothing is shot on it.

Bridgeports are old & solid. We have one from the 50's at school. I use it every few days, still works 100%.




You can yank the pulleys off of those & convert them to CNC. Hawtness.
