DESCRIPTION

Available for immediate sale is this Bridgeport Series I Vertical Milling Machine, upgraded with a Southwestern Industries ProtoTRAK MX2 2-Axis CNC / Conversational Control System.

This machine combines the versatility and familiarity of the legendary Bridgeport Series I knee mill with the productivity of a ProtoTRAK conversational control, making it an excellent choice for tool rooms, maintenance departments, prototype shops, mold and die facilities, repair shops, educational facilities, and low-volume production applications.

The ProtoTRAK MX2 provides programmable control of the table axes while retaining the ability to operate the Bridgeport in a conventional manual milling environment.

This combination is particularly useful for shops performing one-off components, prototypes, repair work, short production runs, bolt-hole patterns, pockets, contours, slots, and other milling operations where full production CNC equipment may be unnecessary.

The machine is equipped with a 2 HP Bridgeport variable-speed milling head, power-operated table axes, ProtoTRAK MX2 operator control, substantial T-slotted table, machine vise, and a large assortment of collets and related tooling.

The ProtoTRAK control has been powered up and is shown operating in the photographs.

The machine presents well for its age and appears to have been maintained as a working toolroom / production machine.
