Bridgeport spares

[Luke]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a new gib for the knee/saddle slide for my Bridgeport series 1.

Does anyone know of a UK based parts supplier?

Thanks,

Luke

Try Brian Caddy at Slideway services. I doubt he'll have one but might know of where there was one

Thanks, have sent him an email.

Common practise with gibs to braze a bit of cast iron onto the thicker end and file to shape, as being tapered you presumably just need to push it in a bit further and the majority of it is fine

These guys are the remains of the original Bridgeport Uk, so there is no one better really.



Kind regards,
