Re: mill

Al,
The Bridgeport Spindle Motor and the power transformers in the main power
cabinet can be changed from 415 volt to 210 volt by changing the jumpers on
the transformers and changing the wire connections on the motor.
There should be an information plate either on the transformer or on the
door of the power cabinet. The only difference between that machine and mine
might be the spindle motor because of the 50 cycle / 60 cycle difference
here in the USA.
The one other thing that you will have to change are the "heaters" in the
motor overload in the power cabinet. They are different for the 210 volts
and you can get them from Bridgeport. The part number should be listed on
the door of the power cabinet. I think the number for 210 volt is 2437 and a
2435 should work.
