Drilling holes in Bridgeport / Warco mill

(1/2) > >>

Spurry:
This machine was delivered earlier this week. I have now come the stage of fitting the air operated draw bar. Here's a picture (as I know you like them). The machine is a Warco WM40. It appears very much Bridgeport like, but without the price tag.  :bugeye:


The bracket for the buttons looks like it should fit on the left hand side of the head assembly. Before I actually drill the casting, I would like to know what is inside. Is any damage likely to be caused?

All being well this is where my bracket to hold the bracket should fit.
Thanks for any advice
Pete

Apologies for picture mix up

John Stevenson:
Yup,
Got the same machine but now got a few extras.
Power feed on Y, 4" raising block, slotting head on the back and 3 axis DRO with one on the knee and a Chinese scale on the quill.

One thing to note, these are the next size up from a Bridgy, ram is far heavier and a standard slotting head wont fit. I used a Beaver one which is heavier and had to machine 3/4" out of the yoke. The beaver yoke will stand it, the Bridgy one won't

Not got power drawbar yet, that's on the list but I'm going with electric because I don't want to have to run a big hydrovane just to swap a tool.

Lidl are having some mains impact wrenches for sale on the 28th of this month for £30, Well cheap enough to hack and slash one about.
