Can someone identify this BP?

[l u k e]

Does anyone have any idea what the approximant weight of this mill is? Just the two pictures, sorry.

Is it a Boss 10?

[l u k e]

My guess is it's around 3,000 lbs. (?)

Looks like a V2E3. Could be BOSS 8 or 10.
How many lines displayed on the LCD screen? If only 2 then a BOSS 8.

I missed out on this one, it sold before I could get it. It went for $1000.

If not mistaken, the average weight of a normal Bridgeport Mill is roughly 2200-2500 lbs. Adding on controls and other attachments, only based on the images you've provided us, the machine may weigh upwards of 2700-3000 lbs.

Looks like my v2e3 Boss 8. Not available in Boss 9 and Boss 10 is very rare.
My original sales literature states 2920 lbs but these were equipped with quick change or power draw bar and there would be some weight difference between the two.

v2e3 machines are not so common and searching this site will not bring up a whole lot. I am soon starting to retrofit mine.

What is the serial number of your machine? I have reason to believe only 100-200 of these were made ????

Luke .... opps I just noticed you missed getting this one. Are you looking specifically for a tilting head type machine ? Or just looking for an inexpensive cnc? Compared to the rigid head models, these with tilting head are probably going to need trammed if you have a crash or significant chatter.

I was just looking to pick it up because it looked like a great price. Just missed another for $500!!

I had planned on retro fitting a Mach control.

Well Luke I did not check your profile to see if you provided your home location but I like to look for deals and if I see one I will give you a tip. There is a lot of worn obsolete and too high priced stuff out there. I paid $1750 for my machine and got all the manuals, a very nice boring head and about a dozen tool holders. This mill was owned by the vo-tech
in Hannibal Missouri. The school by law put it up for bids locally but nobody was willing to offer the minimum bid so they were free to advertise it and so listed it on craigslist and I bought it. It alarms when you rapid in Z and so they were not using the machine for years and most of the previous machine instructors preferred to teach on manual machines .... so this one is hardly used. I missed two before I got this one. Drove 700 miles one way to get it !!!!!

Be patient or you will spend you money and then a much better deal will come along.
