I put some pictures in the dropbox that outline the process I used to move a Supermax YCM-40 CNC knee mill into my basement. This is a beefier version of a Bridgeport with bigger base, saddle, knee, and box ways. The head is also solidly attached to the ram so it went down as one piece. A Brideport would have been easier since you can handle the head and ram seperately. Total machine weight with control is approx 3000lbs. The base being the biggest is probably close to 1000 lbs. I don't have a walkout basement so it all went through my front door and down a flight of stairs. This basically answers the age old question of "can I move a Bridgeport into my basement". The response should be how bad do you want one down there? The move went very smoothly and without issue.
Fifteen pictures posted of Mill to Basement. Pictures 11 through 15 kind of got lost a tad bit down the list.
