Welcome back to the machine shop! This video I’m installing 3 mill upgrades on my bridgeport style vertical milling machine. A pneumatic drawbar impact wrench for rapid changing of end mills and other tooling. A digital scale / micrometer with a digital readout on the mill’s quill for accurate depth tracking. And a powerfeed unit for the z axis to more quickly change the knee location without breaking a sweat. Along the way I get pulled into many other side projects including (but not limited to) machine leveling, lubrication system repairs, hose and cable management, and even some shop organization.
