So I was taking the four bolts out that hold the turret in place and once the last bolt came out I heard this loud bang. I damned near filled my drawers with warm, mushy, brown stuff. I got the turret removed and looked inside the body casting and saw the spider had taken a trip to the bottom of the casting. The pictures I've seen with the turret removed on Bridgeport mills, the spider sits on a shelf inside the casting so it doesn't drop in.
Next I need to remove the knee but I'm concerned about removing a wrong bolt or nut and the whole knee come crashing down on me. Has anyone removed the knee from a knee mill before that could give me some advise? Mr Google was not of much help.
