Bridgeport 11062405 Knee to Column Wiper Mill Part

Product Description

The BRIDGEPORT 11062405 is a knee-to-column wiper used on Bridgeport-style vertical knee milling machines. This wiper assembly seats at the interface between the knee casting and the column dovetail, where it acts as a dust and debris seal. Keeping this wiper in serviceable condition is essential for protecting the column ways from contamination and maintaining smooth vertical knee travel. Weighing 0.1 pounds, it is a small but critical wear component that machinists and machine tool service technicians replace during routine way maintenance or when knee movement becomes rough or inconsistent.

This wiper is intended for use on knee-type vertical milling machines of the Bridgeport pattern. It is typically replaced during scheduled preventive maintenance on shop floor mills, during knee rebuilds, or when worn wipers are found to be allowing chips and coolant to reach the column ways. Installation is performed by machine tool service technicians or experienced machinists as part of a broader way cleaning and lubrication service.

Key Features

• Seals the knee-to-column dovetail interface against chip and debris intrusion
• Direct OEM-style replacement for worn or damaged column wipers
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds for easy handling during installation
• Sold individually, allowing single-piece replacement as needed

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement wiper for Bridgeport-pattern knee-type vertical milling machines. Confirm fitment against the machine serial number and column dovetail dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Power down and lock out the milling machine before servicing the knee or column assembly. Clean the column dovetail ways thoroughly and inspect for wear or scoring before fitting the new wiper. A machine tool service technician or qualified machinist should perform this work to ensure proper seating and way alignment. Re-lubricate the column ways per the machine manufacturer guidelines after wiper replacement.
