The DVD I saw was the introduction to the Bridgeport Milling Machine. Overall, I liked it and am grateful for SmartFlix making these available. This DVD tries to cover quite a bit of ground, so it moves pretty fast and lacks close up photos and detailed explanations of the set-ups and mechanical details of the machine. The contrast is very apparent if you are used to Rudy K's very detailed style. My only true complaint is that the audio quality is lacking and the instructor sometimes used incorrect terminology like calling the quill the "ram." These are small things and the DVD really does a good job showing a wide range of operations in a short time. This one gets a B to B+ from me, while I would rate the Bridgeport DVD from the professional gunsmith an A.
