Project "YOU Bit It Off, YOU chew it", aka installing a Bridgeport CNC
AdeV:
Thanks for the words of advice & replies chaps! It's certainly going to make chips, even if it's manually with an axe!
Dave - I'd already read about the dangers of changing out the batteries without plugging it in, fingers crossed the batts that are in there have held up, otherwise it's funtime as you say. I'm sure John Stevenson has the parameters memorised, or he'll at least be able to make up a set on the spot :lol:
I have whizzed the back off the display unit, at first I thought it had a puddle of water in it, but it turned out to just be a shiny bit. I will, as you say, get some warm air in there.
My biggest fears are knackered spindle or main motor bearings, knackered main motor or Z-axis servomotor due to water ingress. The main motor is HUGE, and appears to be a multi-speed unit, as I can't see any signs of a mechanical varispeed, the front plate reckons 40-4000rpm, that's pretty close to the same range as my manual machine.
I don't suppose anyone happens to have a manual for these machines do they? I may have to buy one off fleabay...
Stilldrillin:
Ohhhh........ That's nice, Ade! :bugeye:
Good luck with the dry out, and installation. :thumbup:

Hi

Dont rush drying things out (you must keep the smoke inside it)
Looks to be a fine machine
I take it you have a 3 phase supply :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

There is a seller of some repute in Long Eaton **LINK** whom I can thoroughly recommend (though not certain if that particular listing matches your new toy).
there is another interesting feature of that advertisement - it has a picture which says "Just click on our man and he'll show you" - now is that J or A or ????!!!!??

John Stevenson:
Sorry don't have a manual for this model.
In fact not seen this model before but must admit not that well up on Bridgeport CNC's although i have an old MDI that's now converted.
