Bridgeport milling machine by Adcock-Shipley of Leicester made in about 1974.
The mill is very hard to miss, its big and blue and takes up a large portion of the Metalworking Area. It is a very versatile tool that can be used to accurately machine most metals & plastics. The Hackspace's machine was acquired, cleaned and brought in to use in 2012.
