I did not get a maint. manual with my 1989 interact 4 that i just bought. Does anyone know where i can get one. I have already searched all over hell on the net and ebay. no luck.

I would be willing to pay someone to copy there manual and mail it to me. Maybe someone has it on PDF format.

Ive gotta get one of these manuals so i can figure out the parts numbers to several things i need on my machine.

I phoned bridgeport and they sold me one for £70 (approx $130)

I'm also aware of places on the net selling them for similar money both on disc or paper format.

Does the US version of the machine differ significantly from the UK version ?

no i dont think the US version is any different.

Can you tell me what type of pullstud the tool holders use (thing on that screws in the top of the holder that the machine grips to hold the tool in the spindle).

I can have a look when i'm back in the workshop at the weekend.

My machine is fitted with a hydraulic power drawbar. Will this make a difference to the type of pullstud?

Check with Hardinge, EMI and also MachineManuals.com

I had my manual copied and was going to send it to you for credit on the purchase of you extra KTk spindle drive and electronics from the machine. But you pushed up the time table and I was not able to buy them that quick. I was going to send my cousin from Chicago to watch the machine run, but you had already disassembled it.You then sold them on Ebay and the guy who purchased them told me today that they are " Screwed up". I did not buy them because the red light was flashing. When someone goes on CNCzone and asks how to fix parts and then goes about trying to sell them as good working, I doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out. I hope you find a lot of help finding your manual.
