I own Bridgeport # 398 and have been using it for small projects. I completely disassembled the mill because of a minor issue and would like to rebuild what I can. The most wear is in the splines on the spindle and spindle pulley hub. I have been told no new parts exist for the M head. Does anyone have suggestions on how to replace or improve this slack? It mostly causes chatter when cutting. If anyone has used parts for first gen. Bridgeports I may be interested in them. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
