The first Bridgeport milling machine (serial number 1) is on display at the Museum. [2] Due to the overall success of the company's milling machines, the term "Bridgeport" is often used to refer to any vertical milling machine of the same configuration, regardless of make. Many other companies have cloned the form.
A 3-axis clone of a Bridgeport -style vertical milling machine. Milling is the process of machining using rotary cutters to remove material [ 1 ] by advancing a cutter into a workpiece. This may be done by varying directions [ 2 ] on one or several axes, cutter head speed, and pressure. [ 3 ] Milling covers a wide variety of different ...
Bullard Mult-Au-Matic, a vertical, multispindle automatic lathe, 1914. [1] Memorial Day 1942 at Bullard. The Bullard Machine Tool Company was a large American machine tool builder. It specialized in vertical boring mills and was largely responsible for the development of the modern form of that class of machine tools. [2]
Indexing head. Indexing head and tailstock set up on a milling machine's table. An indexing head, also known as a dividing head or spiral head, [1] is a specialized tool that allows a workpiece to be circularly indexed; that is, easily and precisely rotated to preset angles or circular divisions. Indexing heads are usually used on the tables of ...
The machine taper is a simple, low-cost, highly repeatable, and versatile tool mounting system. It provides indexability, as tools can be quickly changed but are precisely located both concentrically and axially by the taper. It also allows high power transmission across the interface, which is needed for milling.

Magnus Wahlström. A vertical mill of the form factor developed and made famous by Bridgeport Machines Inc. The head is mounted on the ram by joints that allow it to swivel in two directions. The ram can slide back and forth on the turret, which can swivel on the column. The table sits on the knee, and it can move horizontally in the X and Y axes.
Drawbar (machine tool) A W-type external-thread collet (red) being pulled into its spindle seat (green) with a drawbar (blue), clamping and then releasing a shaft. A drawbar or spindle drawbar is a clamping mechanism for toolholders on machine tools. The toolholder or machine taper itself is held by the draw bar and applies force to the spindle ...
