Customer Reviews for Power Feed Y-axis 135lbs 200rpm Torque For Bridgeport Type Milling Machine 110v

Like I said: friggin’ sweet

This unit installs easily if you are prepared to do just a little fiddling. It may be a one for one swap on some mills. I have a J head Bridgeport. ON this mill I noted as was explained on other reviews that the brass gear and extension requires cutting down to allow the manual handwheel to be installed. This is a fairly easy process if you have a lathe and expanding mandrel to hold the part. I shave off .250" and could have taken another .125 off to get full nut engagement on the retaining nut. I also took a 1/8 inch thick file and ran it the length of the keyway to allow fittiing to the Bridgeport key. No big deal. I am sure you will encounter the same issues with your mill. Nice running unit once installed. This took about an hour to put on once the Bridgeport feed was removed and area cleaned.

I put this on a Sharp mill. It took about an hour to install. Making sure to clean everything that came off the mill and grease it all well. I followed the instructions on shimming the motor and it has been working well for the last few months now.The brass gear collar needs to be trimmed down about 0.25-0.375" in length to fit the Sharp mill. With the length it comes you get maybe half a nuts worth of engagement on the handle retaining nut. Can either turn it down on a lath or cut it down on the mill you're putting this on.I have also noticed at lower speeds, sometimes the motor doesn't want to engage when switching to power feed. You have to give the speed dial a small jerk and that will get the motor going. But once it is going it has had no problems feeding at whatever speeds I set it to. For the price I paid, even with the quirks, I don't know why I didn't buy one sooner.EDIT:I went back and looked at the brass piece. If you were to trim it down the ball end of the handle would interfere with the motor housing. So the handle itself would also need to be trimmed on one side as well. I have been running it as is for a while and it has been fine. Eventually I'll get to trimming it down.

Used on a Bridgeport mill fit great ease to install.

first one quite working, customer service was actually amazing to deal with. they are replacing the one that broke. company seams to stand behind product, hopefully the first one was just a friday afternoon unit.

I have a jet 8X36 Jet mill. I used an electric impact with Allen sockets. Start to finish installed in about an hour. I spent about 15 minutes shimming the gear correctly. Assembled, worked perfect.

Installed the drive on a 9x42 Jet mill, it fit perfect and installed in about 30 minutes. So far with the proper shims the thing runs smooth and quiet. Directions are sketchy but I’m more of a picture guy anyway so no problem. It was a great price, I purchased one of the opened boxes for 127.00 the box gets tossed anyway, product was perfect.

Great power feed for the price. Easy to install, works great.

A little rough around the edges but it does what it is supposed to and it does it a lot less expensive than it's competitors.
