Bridgeport Torq-Cut TC4G Retrofit

Yeah it is not terrible, but still dirtier than I care for. I will have to say that this is going to take longer than I wanted due to me taking the mill down to the casting. This includes rails, ball screws, oil lines, everything comes off. Only way I can get all the junk off of the mill and get a solid paint job on it.

I will update more when I get things torn down and begin the journey going back together.

One other thing..... I have a TC2G up for grabs now if anyone is interested before I start taking it apart and selling off parts. (No need or room for both machines.)

Where is it located and what do you want for it?

East Tennessee and 4k would be nice.

While I am cleaning still I took some time to build the PC for the machine. Here are the results so far with no setting changes.

Well it has been awhile since I posted any updates due to work, farm, and family. Here is the current state of the mill.

1) Torn down and all rails and ball screws came off. Removed paint and prepped surfaces This thing was bare casting minus the electrical enclosure.
2) Painted (SW Sher-Kem paint)
3) Starting to go back together (Z axis rails and ball screw back in along with spindle cartridge and head).
4) Adding lubrication to all the thrust bearings as there was none from the factory and that just did not seem right to me. Need to do the front thrust bearing still.

As I find time to do more I will update.
