It may be a long shot, but Tennessee Abrasive may have something.

As tooling and consumables continue to be ridiculously overpriced even used and difficult to source, a small surface grinder can be very useful to have on hand.

You can knock those shims out on the Bridgeport and get the thicknesses perfect on the surface grinder with a magnetic chuck. Same goes for parallels and other shop made tooling.

Good luck.
