Bridgeport Knee/Column Gib
Restore proper knee movement and machine accuracy with this knee/column gib for American-made Bridgeport milling machines.
Designed to replace OEM #2060146, this replacement gib controls the fit between the knee and column, allowing the table to move smoothly up and down while minimizing unwanted play.
To accommodate wear in older machines, this gib is intentionally manufactured approximately .030″ thicker and 1-1/2″ longer than the original, allowing it to be precision fit during installation.

Important Installation Information
This gib is intentionally oversized so it can be custom fit to your machine. Because every Bridgeport mill wears differently, scraping, filing, machining, or cutting a new notch may be required during installation.
This part is primarily intended for machine rebuilders, but it is also suitable for experienced machinists who are comfortable fitting precision machine components.
Return Policy
Because this gib is designed to be custom fit, modified or altered parts cannot be returned. Returns are accepted only if the part is returned in its original, unmodified condition as shipped.
