Bridgeport 11062406 Felt Wiper Set Saddle Knee Milling Machine

Product Description

The BRIDGEPORT 11062406 is a felt wiper replacement set designed for the saddle and knee assembly of Bridgeport milling machines. Felt wipers serve as the first line of defense against metal chips, coolant, and debris working their way into the precision ways and sliding surfaces of a manual mill. Keeping these wipers in good condition reduces wear on the dovetail ways and helps maintain accurate table travel over time. This replacement set is the correct OEM-style accessory for technicians and shop maintenance personnel performing routine preventive maintenance on Bridgeport-style vertical knee mills.

This wiper set is intended for use on I Series Bridgeport milling machines in the saddle and knee area. It is a standard maintenance consumable in machine shops, vocational programs, and industrial facilities running Bridgeport or Bridgeport-compatible vertical mills. Replacement is typically performed during scheduled way maintenance, after a way-cleaning service, or when worn wipers are found to be allowing contaminants past the saddle or knee travel surfaces. The package contains one set as supplied by the manufacturer.

Key Features

• Felt material construction provides effective chip and debris wiping across saddle and knee ways
• Direct replacement for the saddle and knee wiper position on I Series milling machines
• Lightweight at 0.2 pounds — easy to stock as a preventive maintenance spare
• Sold as a single package quantity, allowing single-unit ordering for service needs

Compatibility

Designed for use with I Series Bridgeport milling machines, specifically the saddle and knee assembly. No additional compatible model families were specified in the product data.

Installation Notes

Felt wiper replacement on a knee mill is typically performed by a machinist or maintenance technician familiar with manual milling machine way service. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the saddle or knee covers to access the wiper retainers. Clean the way surfaces thoroughly before installing new wipers to prevent debris from being trapped against the precision surfaces. Proper seating of the wiper against its retainer channel ensures full contact and effective contamination exclusion during machine operation.
