    Default Bridgemill sitting for 13+ years - what to check/change ???

    Hi Guys,

    I have an almost NOS 2004 Bridegemill that has been sitting still since new (less than 10 hours on it).*
    I am the original owner. Just never had time/place to use it. Now I do

    I replaced the belts that were dried up and cracked (the 2 lathe motor ones)
    Is there any other things I should check / replace if this has not move a chip in 13+ years ?

    Thanks, Jason

    Clean and oil everything that has been exposed to the shop environment. Maybe change the oil in any gear boxes. Run it at slow speed to start, both forward and reverse to get the spindle bearings warmed up a bit and the lube spread around a bit. Then make chips and have fun
