Bridgeport Series 1 CNC manual

[JDP3]

Hello ... I am new to this forum. I have recently acquired a Series 1 CNC (another available if anyone interested ... Central NY). This machine has no CPU which is fine as I am planning on doing an upgrade, but I am looking for a source for the manual relating to the hardware that would include information about the head, table, and servos. Where is the best place to find one? Thank you.

You are not specific at all as to which model.
But try machinemanuals.net as they quite a few on CDROM. Cheapest way to go.

From a previous post, I was looking for a hardware manual for a Series 1. The machine is still tucked away in a pile of other machines, and I am unable to get to the plate. The servos are the large, black, large fluted cast aluminum case type (who made these things?). The machine does not appear to have a speed adjustment servo on the head. Please forgive my rudimentary approach ... the last time I repaired a Bridgeport based NC it was part of a Moog hydrapoint.

You are describing a stepping motor machine.
MOST of the mechanical is the same. But it could be a NC or a CNC from a BOSS 3 through a BOSS 6. There are variances, so if you get the correct manual, you will be better off.

Check EBAY. Do "bridgeport manual" search under Business and INdustrual. I saw a bunch of paper reproductions there the other day.

Hi, I'm in CNY and interested in the other machine - could you share the info? I live in Rome.

Thanks!
