Adcock & Shipley 1ES mill info wanted
« on: November 25, 2012, 04:26:45 PM »
I am trying to find out some basic info about a Adcock & Shipley 1ES horizontal mill.  It is One of the ones marked Bridgeport, for here in the US.
1. What is the size of the table?
2. What is the Rise & Fall on the table?
3. What is the travel on the table?
4. What is the footprint of the base?
5. What is the spindle taper?
6. What is the weight?
Tony's site lacks a lot of info that I need.  I have a chance to pick one up for a reasonable price, that looks to be in fair shape.

So far all I've found is:
1) Table Sizes 30" x 8" -  40"x 10"
2) at least a foot
3) typically ~60 % of the table
4) Looks to be no more than 30" x 30" but  true footprint has to include table width etc.
5) 40int taper - Spindle Speeds 50-2500 rpm
6) upwards of a ton (I'd guess at least 1200kg)
