Hi all,
Looking to purchase my first mill for the farm workshop and have no experience in buying mills other than what I have gleaned from PM.
I have found this Bridgeport in South Africa for sale and am very interested in it as seems to be priced well and comes with a bit of tooling. However the X and Y axis powerfeed are not working, but the Z does work. I assume the fault is an electrical problem or servo motors? Any other ideas? What else should I be looking for in this department. Is it an easy fix or are there possibly other gremlins at work? I don't have the option to fly down to see it but will be sending someone there tomorrow to look at it for me whilst we do video chat.
Any idea on what the model number is? They haven't been able to locate that information, only the SN# on the head AS854F which google hasn't been able to cross reference.
The motor is 3 phase and was rewound couple years ago. At the moment it is located in a home garage/ workshop.
Any insights would be a great help.
Cheers,
Greg
