i don't think i have ever seen a 3p welder




its bridgeport knee mill, got a bunch of tooling to go with.  its about 30 years old, and was used very little.  got a very nice rotating table and a 5 axis table.

made the platt run today and have every thing fro running a new circit, just have to get around to doing it.

mY TES  is under control for a bit now.

How many guesses do we have to make before you tell us what it is that you bought???????

P.S. I'll go with a piece of machining equipment like a CNC machine for building your own AR receivers????

Ok...let me see...my guess is a bridgeport knee mill with rotating table and a 5 axis table.

I would say similar to this.

You bought some machining equipment....maybe a turning lathe or a bed mill?  Gonna start building something?

A Bridgeport or Proto-Trac?

Just a few WAGS...

OK, what do I win?

Tim, I hate Proto Trac.  ;D
 I can do my own programing with G codes, but I just can't get the hang of that conversational programming. (granted I have far less opportunity to work with it )

TAB, lets have details !
Is it strictly manual ? Or does it have the servo's etc for auto feed ?  DRO ?
Rotary table ?  I run a Bridgeport every night and I don't get to have a rotary table.
Don't need it for the parts I run, but still ....    ;D  I do however have an auto indexing  ( Haas )  head on it so  PHHHT on you  ;D

GunsRUs, check this out.  ;D

I have over 15 years on knee mills of verious orgin, everything from and Enco Belt drive to a Bridgeport EZ Vision (3 axis CNC with an R8 collet).  Enco's are fine, and the variable speed is a huge plus.  Just know you lose some power with a phase converter, about 30% IIRC, but I've rarely needed all the power available in 15 years. 

My current mill is a Bridgeport EZ Track 2 axis, probably the best balance of quick set-up and capabiltiy.  But its at work, I'd love to have your mill in my garage!

One day...

Have a good one.
