I'd move the filament reel as far over to the left as possible to ease the run into the Bowden.

Esher?

 

[dobbslc]

Esher? That's positively posh compared to some of the **** holes I work in!

 

[Nick DV]

Yes.
The lowering mechanism.
Someone mentioned using a "motorbike steering damper"?

Ahh, see what you mean. That's a simple solution and may have a look at that once I start using it more

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I got this bundle yesterday.
A swop of bits at a charity shop. Item that were of no use to me, but will help others.
I got stuff that was useful to me.

Primus jet cleaners.
Plus a original operating instructions.





Finally.






It came with a 32Gb memory card as well.

Road trip today, I love a road trip.

Went to collect the Bridgeport tooling cabinet I hastily purchased the other day, and glad I did as its a fine acquisition. During my conversation with the seller, I learned there are eight more that are going to be available. I'll post more about that soon.

Here are some cabinet photos for those who might be interested, and of the tool for relocating the shelves.

Now we know

Thanks for posting that. 8 more!

That looks quality Are those swiveling shelves height adjustable looking at the hole side rails?

Yes, they are height adjustable. The last thee photos on my previous post show how its done, with the tool on the right side door that was provided.

I just had a phone conversation with the Bridgeport cabinet seller, mentioned our forum, and that I was confident that some members would be seriously interested in these cabinet's. I asked if I could I forward his contact details, and he said yes. So for those interested, you guys here are going to have first chance of acquiring them before they are listed online. He said the company is retooling for modern CNC machines, related tooling and the cabinets for them; so these older Bridgeport cabinets are surplus to requirement.

I am going to ask advice from the moderators on how to proceed so I don't break any forum rules.
