Default Re: Van Norman Mill

We have three Bridgports. And they don't work that well for a engine block. Mainly because they don't have enough travel. And on a Model A block. Would not go the whole depth of the cylinder. We have a big machine shop. But nothing really to do engine work on. We mostly have cnc equipment. I've seen a van norman 777 mated to a bridgport that worked real good. But would still not have a way to bore the mains. I am about to buy out a few large hoards of flathead engines. And have a few places where the guys have a few of them. I'm getting them all cheap. And figured I might spend some free time with my son on them.
