I have a chance to pick up a "Bridgeport Series 1 CNC Machining Center" and I'm hoping the members can tell about it. Not the greatest pictures in the world, I didn't have much time to snap them. I can get more/better ones on Monday, if that will help. I think it might be the infamous Boss 7.2 with the tool changer that is a "mechanical and electrical nightmare", but I'm not sure. If that turns out be the case, can I remove the tool changer and just use it as a manual tool change CNC mill? Is this a servo or stepper machine? The tool holders are marked Ericsson - I guess they are the qc 30 tool holders? Finally, what's the best way to move one of these beasts - with my M head I just dissembled it into its major components. Is it much more difficult to disassemble one of these? Thanks in advance for any help. Last edited by dangerdawg; 06-13-2011 at 08:07 AM.  |

| Search for BTC1 (Boss 7.2) as there is a very long string of posts about this machine. Yes, it has closed loop servo motors. And enough switches to stock a Radio Shack store. George

| We have two of them we run almost every day, if you have the patience to learn how they work they are actually quite simple. My brother put up a you tube video of them running a while back, can't remember the title but I put a link to it on the BTC forum, good luck Jon P. |

| Jonp, I think I looked at BTC Youtube that about a month ago. It was VERY cool. That is an awesome machine, although I must admit I'd be a bit afraid to buy one, being a newbie and all. I probably won't find one for sale anyway. Feel free to post more Youtube BTC footage!

| Yes, I saw that utube video also. Very nice. I've decided to get this mill if I can. I'm sure the BTC forum will be quite tired of me in short order. |
