Bridgeport Milling Machine
The heads of these units attach to joints, which help them turn in multiple directions. If you want metal parts that adhere to even moderately tight tolerances, a milling machine is your only practical option.
But they went and left the slides and saddle unchanged. South of Stillman Street it is a navigable waterway with a dredged channel. That said, virtually all mills will have some way to gear down the motor to gain torque at the cost of speed. Along with the machine serial number each milling head is numbered.

Bridgeport, the first stop on the Norristown High Speed Line from the Montgomery County seat, seems to be on the edge of a residential real estate boom, although there is already a lot of evidence of new-home construction on those hillside streets. Some houses date from the height of the market between 2003 and 2005, but others are of much more recent vintage. Though rowhouses dominate the industrial neighborhoods adjacent to the river, brick and stone singles and semidetached homes dating from the late 19th century through the 1960s are what you'll find in the hills. One exception is the newer townhouses on Mill Street mill Third and Second Streets, which mix in with industrial buildings and well-kept, but smaller rowhouses. Average days on the market fell to 50 from 112 year-over-year, the datings show. Unlike many older communities, change appears welcome in Bridgeport. On the second floor of Borough Hall, before you enter the council room, is a large map outlining Bridgeport's revitalization plan, which includes enhancement of the town center and upgrading of the Dekalb Street corridor. Jody Holton, executive director of the Montgomery County Planning Commission, talks enthusiastically about dating of the Chester Valley Trail through Bridgeport, set to begin next spring. The county received a grant for the Bridgeport loop trail, which will connect the Chester Valley Trail, Bridgeport's waterfront, and Fourth Street, Holton says. Over the years, paper, steel, bricks, and other commodities have been manufactured in Bridgeport factories lining the river below Front Street and at the end of Fourth Street near the Upper Merion Bridgeport line. Some older mills now make up the Bridgeport Business Park; the modern Tube Methods plant runs along Depot Street behind Fourth Street. Smaller firms are scattered throughout the borough and along Front Street and the railroad tracks, where freight trains rumbled several times a day. On 29 acres along the bridgeport, O'Neill Properties, widely known for brownfield development, is planning to build Bridgeview, made up of 325 townhouses and 250 rental apartments. Bridgeview would be on the bicycle loop trail, which would connect with the Schuylkill Trail across the river in Norristown. Gary Johnson, owner of Taphouse 23 on Fourth Street, also has a sizable number of properties in the borough, Curley says, and has plans for a couple of the churches closed in recent years.
