Hey people I have a small issue - my Bridgeport clone (https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/M5...=Search&s=bm22) is on 2 sleepers about 100mm high each and I need to lower it onto smaller pieces of wood, or just entirely onto the floor. Ceiling height is so low that putting it on the ground will mean the difference between being able to put its head upright and use it, or just have it permanently nodded so it doesnt hit the roof.
Is there anything you can stick the bridgeport on that will allow it to be lowered gradually, some sort of adjustable feet or a screwing jack?
I need it lower, obviously I cant use a crane as the ceiling is so low.
Previously I used a big big lever to just raise and lower one side of the bridgeport at a time but I don't like doing it, I feel like its not great for the base.
