how little i know

[Dar]

I resently bought a Bridgeport 2 R2C3 3axis milling machine at an auction.
there were no schematics in the power panel and no instruction booklet.
Idon,t have 3phase power to my garage so i myst convert it to low voltage.
the plate on panel says[ diagram 1935749 ] does any have that schematic?
if so please let me know what you want for a copy of it?
i also need a users manual as i,ve never run a cnc before.
sounds preaty dumb doesn,t it but when i had my own shop i battled to get work but couldn,t compete with cnc,s. so now i have one bot don,t know how to wire it or run it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i must say i do love seeing what everybody is doing. this is a great site

You would be better off posting this in the Bridgport Forum, also if you search there you should find out about options of VFD's and Rotary Phase Convertors, to run the 3ph motor off 220 1ph.

I would recomend a rotary phase converter, as I have a static and don't like the power loss or its huming sound when not in use!
