    How smart am I :)

    Not very it seems!

    I ordered a ball-screw kit for a Bridgeport with a 9" x 48" table, however, after trying to fit the Y axis again tonight it turns out I have the extended knee model with a 12" Y travel not 9" like normal

    Still, I've only had it 11 years, never noticed.

    The suppliers are being good so far and are looking into getting the bigger version swapped out with my one while i am on holiday.

    Aaaargh!

    Also ordered up another three replacement bearings for the head - the old girl was in a worse condition than i thought.
