Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Bridgeport Tracer?

There is a publication called machinery mart which might help, I have never
seen it in a shop, it may be something you have to subscribe or specialy
order ( I have seen it arrive in the post at work) If you can get it you
should be able to get a more local deal. The hydraulic bridgeport machines I
have seen (moog hydrapoint) are a bit noisy, chuck out lots of heat ( must
put the electricity bill up a lot) and tended to be temperamental. also
would need 3 phase power which might be a problem.

> Bridgeport dublicating mill with two J style heads, dublicating probe and

table. Tru-Trace 3D hydraulic controller. Stylii and hold down set. No mill
collets. 220V on 3 phase (We have 220v here anyway, need to get a 3 phase
transformer though). I'm willing to pay $2000 or so for the mill which is no
where near what they're asking for it right now ($900).

am I going to save anything buying it for under $2000? Sorry for all the
questions, anwser as many of them as you feel comfortable doing and if you
need to know anything else please tell me.
