Bridgeport M-Head Milling machine with CNC conversion

grabcad

Full CNC conversion of a Bridgeport M-Head milling machine! These parts should be compatible with other sizes and styles of Bridgeports or clones, but this one specifically is sized for a the smaller round ram M-head Bridgeport.Most all of the parts were originally waterjet cut to rough outline then finished on the machine while it was still manual. The yoke and z-axis adapter nut were the most complex parts by far. The former being roughed out by a CNC machine I had access to at work. The latter was machined while the machine was under 2D CNC control.The Bridgeport castings were drawn by using front and side views from the manual for the Bridgeport. They definitely are not perfect and could not recreate the actual castings, but they are close enough to use as a modeling framework.
