Bridgeport Mobile Base Plans

I love having my Bridgeport in the corner of the shop because it makes great use of the limited space in my garage shop. The downside to this placement is you’re limited on the length of stock you can work on before the walls get in the way which is not usually an issue for me but occasionally I need more capacity.  Another issue with a garage shop is the floors are not flat or level.  The bays of my garage are toughed to allow water to flow away from the walls and out the doors. The base ends up on an uneven surface and doesn’t sit flat – not great for the machine’s rigidity. I designed this base to solve both of these issues and I didn’t want to make the machine much taller.  The underslung design only adds 1″ to the mill’s height which means I can still reach the drawbar without stepping onto the machine.

The plans are 12 pages; detailing each fabricated component and include a full parts and cut list. Both imperial and metric versions of the plans are included.

These plans are electronic and can be downloaded immediately after purchase.
