Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Great Bridgeport Mill for CNC conversion.

I'm pretty sure it is a MOOG HYDRAPOINTE base. One of thr first tape driven
nc of the seventies. I owned two, still have one that is used as a heavy duty
drill press.

The original machines were all hydraulic using air logic for the control.
Worked good when it worked which was seldom. Good machines for
conversions as the are very solid. The column and ram are standard
Bridgeport.
