Hello all. Just wondering who out there has one of these Bridgeports named above. I have one at the shop, and wanted to know what you guys have thought about them. If anyone has any info on these machines regarding longevity, alarms, strength and weaknesses, and any other info I would appreciate it. The machine that I have has a GE Fanuc 21i/M controller. My personal opinion is, it's not a bad machine but it is kind of weak and we do get some funny alarms with it time to time. Anyways thanks in advance for any input.

I know this range of machines maintenance wise. Main problem is there is no lubrication to slideways which are linear and ball screws. Would reccomend you pull back the guards to each axis and hand grease ballscrew at least once a year. Dont think greasing linear rails would be benficial apart from a light greasing.
I have a 4024XV which has lost the macro programs 9xxx and 8xxx yours might be the same could you help with copys??
