Alliant vs Bridgeport Mill

[CHARLES1]

Does anyone know the actual difference between a Bridgeport and Alliant mill? I have an Alliant mill with variable speed drive. I need a motor assembly and some various parts. Alliant parts and difficult to find but Bridgeport are not. Alliant and Bridgeport seem to be very close but i am not sure I could buy parts for a Bridgeport and have them fit an Alliant. Any help would be great. Thanks,

Charles

Why do you need a motor assembly, if the bearings are bad just take the motor apart and replace them. unless the motor got fried electrically there is nothing in a 3phase motor to go bad except bearings. as far as other parts there's only one way to find out unfortunately. Todd

I need a complete motor and pulley assembly. I picked up a mill that does not have a motor.

In that case, consider buying a motor and vfd(i got mine from automation direct) and gut the mechanical varidrive install 1-1 micro vee belts and have electric variable speed. Todd

CHARLES,
LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE AN ALLIANT MILL.
WERE YOU ABLE TO ESTABLISH IF BRIDGEPORT PARTS WILL FIT?.SEEMS LIKE RESPONDERS WERE LIMITEDTO THE MOTOR??
I JUST TRADED FOR AN ALLIANT IS THE REASON FOR MY QUESTION..IF YOU EVER FOUND AN ANSWER, PLEASE PASS IT ALONG.
THANKS.

True the Alliant is a Bridgeport clone and alot of the parts will interchange but it is a case by case trial and error process.

I can provide parts for Alliant, Bridgeport, Acra, Acer, Clausing, Sharp, Birmingham, and AccuMills but I'm not sure if the admins here allow solicitation.

I will ask if its ok first and if so, provide my company info.

Good luck!!!
