Siber Hegner RB-1 Bedmill

[etard]

Well, I was hoping to come up on this beauty:

Siber Hegner 42" x 9" Bed Type Variable Speed Vertical Milling Machine RB 1 | eBay

It's a bridgeport style clone in bed mill fashion. I'm just wondering why Bridgeport never built one...

It went for $4000 if you count tax etc... A bit over my $3000 ceiling, but these guys are local to me.



What do you guys think about this machine for CNC conversion?

Bridgeport ignored all the improvements that were offered before they were applied to the RB-1.

Bridgeport sued after the mill was completed, all the way to the supreme court, and lost.

the guy on the cover of the manual was my Grandfather, and I have an original copy of the manual with that image as the cover.
