2018 Bridgeport 9 x 48 CNC Milling Machine

The 2018 Bridgeport 9?x?48?CNC Milling Machine is a compact vertical machining center designed for precision and versatility. It sports a 48-inch by 9-inch table, with axis travels measuring 36?inch in the X-axis, 12?inch in the Y-axis, and 16?inch in the Z-axis. The quill reaches 5?inch and feeds at variable rates (0.0015?inch, 0.003?inch, 0.006?inch). Driven by a 3-horsepower spindle achieving up to 4,200?RPM with an R-8 taper, this mill incorporates a side-mount tool changer (single position) and runs on the intuitive Fagor?8055i CNC control. It maintains the classic Bridgeport rigidity and build quality in a modern, CNC-enabled package.

Compared with fully manual knee mills, this CNC-equipped Bridgeport elevates productivity by automating feed movements and spindle control, while retaining its familiar form factor. Likewise, though not as expansive as large machining centers, it offers superior throughput, accuracy, and repeatability compared to smaller benchtop mills. It’s an ideal choice for shops that want to upgrade to CNC with limited shop space and proven parts handling capacity.
