Bridgeport M-105 Bridgeport Series I Milling Machine
Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
 |
Note:
There are two versions of this manual on the CD. This is
an older version of this manual and it contains
essentially the same material as the newer M-105H version
above but id did have a few differences so I have provided
this older version of the manual on the CD as well. Also
note this is an assortment of pages from the manual and
not the complete manual (above manual is complete) but at
one point I was happy to even have these pages! |
US Patent Number 2275291: Original Bridgeport Mill
Machine Tool Operating at Universal Angles in Overall
Locations
 |
The
original Bridgeport Round-Ram Turret Mill Patent is
included on the CD. The Patent is 10-pages in a PDF
format and includes a great description of the mill with
diagrams and figures that provide insight on how the round
ram mills are built and designed to work. |
And More...
The CD also has a folder that
contains photos of various Bridgeport Mills and accessories
that I have compiled for myself to refer to while working on
and with my own Bridgeport. I figure that if I have found
them useful, you may find them useful too! |
