pensive for m tools.
Bridgeport Accessories
Bridgeport attachments and accessories
extend the capabilities of Bridgeport
machines. A variety of milling, drilling
and boring heads are available for
special applications. They may replace
standard heads on machines or, like the
shaper, be mounted on the rear of the
Series I ram and on duplicators for mul-
tiple head machining. Right angle and
compound angle quill attachments can
accomplish jobs that normally require
special machinery. Coolant systems are
available to meet production needs with
simple installat ion and minimum main-
tenance. The company also offers a full
line of quality tools and tooling aids for
optimum performance with Bridgeport
and many other mi lling machines. Rotary
tables, precision vises and sine tables
are among the many workholding
devices available from Bridgeport to
position workpieces accurately.
In-plant training
Programs provided at Bridgeport are
thorough and complete. Typical courses
are in logic, computer programming, ap-
plication analysis and electronic
Service
Facil ities are worldwide. Application
analysis and the services of the Bridge-
port dealer organization are as near as
your telephone.
Single source responsibility
Bridgeport's experienced engineers or
service personnel and a factory stock of
