Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Bridgeport Series I verse Series II CNC Refit Candidates

Scott,

The last place I worked has four or five of them, next time I'm there, I'll look again and get a pic. I'm 99% sure they say series 2 on them. Now I'm curious.

repaired both over the years, seen them sitting side by side and the
only difference was the Series2 has a 48" table instead of 42" and the
motor is 3hp instead of 2 or 1-1/2 hp. All other parts,castings,etc
are identical. There must be two different mills that are referred to
as a "Series 2". Or alot of different variants of it. All the CNC's
were either Boss or Interact's. Pre-Series machines we always referred
to as "J-heads".

Oh no. I guess you never seen a series 2 BP. The series 1 came with
a 42" or 48" for the most part. The series 2 came with a 10" x 54"
table and a 4 HP motor. I am unaware of a 3hp motor on any BP.
The Series 2 mill dwarfs the series 1 machine by weighing about
5000# compared to a series 1 which is 2000#. There are no parts
that are interchangeable on these machines that I am aware of.
I think you may be confusing the 1j head and the 2j heads, but
the machines are night and day different.
