Bridgeport Spindle Stiffness?

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone knows what the axial stiffness of a bridgeport
or clone spindle is?

I've seen some 40 taper spindles listed in the 500,000lbs/in for two
bearings at the tool end, ranging up to 900,000 lbs/in for a 3 bearing
(at the tool end) unit. I'm sure big mills go way higher.

My BP clone's manual doesn't specify spindle stiffness and that has made
me curious.

Hmm ... My Bridgeport (a Series-I CNC version) uses 30 taper
tooling, and the more common R8 tooling has a taper which matches the
big end of the 30 taper tooling, so you probably should look up the
stiffness of machines with 30 taper tooling instead.

Good Luck,
DoN.

I had just finished sharpening a knife for a coworker.....
My voice"Be careful, that is sharp."
His voice "Ow!. Does anybody have a bandaid?????"

My most recent injury involved a combination of boiling water and an instants
inattention, quite the painful experience.

Something for us all to remember. I wonder if sticking a little
metal plaque on every machine that has caused a serrious injury
(listing what, when and maybe who) would make a difference or if that
might be to morbid...

Man it bums me to hear "davenport" this time of year. I think of downtown,
the snow falling and Xmas shopping with the folks. MajorArt&Hobbies was the
big hit if that's still around. Used to love the multi-levels of Sears.
Dang malls.

You are kidding, right?

Store owners in the malls are all crying "Dang Wal-Mart!".

Major Art & Hobby is still there. I haven't been there in a few years
though. I'm not sure how it is capable of existing.

I think everyone is crying "bad economy" this year. Wasn't a Walmart when
we were there. Kmart on Kimberly and something before the Target across
from Duckcreek mall. I imagine the Kimberly Road Barn is still there?
Turnstyle (I think it was called) on the corner of Kimberly & Brady? just
before getting to the mall. Had a huge ramp to get out of the parking lot.
We shopped for dad at the K&K hardware down by the river.

Oh man,... happy joes pizza. I'm jones'n

Isn't there a boat or something docked down there. Get them tourist dollars
:( I remember the snow flurries as we gathered at Bishops for lunch.
Server was showing up every few minutes because {someone} wouldn't leave the
'light' alone. One of the stores had those ice skaters and whatnot in the
windows. I don't remember the other department stores (Penny's &
Petersons?) like Sears. I remember playing on the stairs there and that
they bought in toys to where the garden area was.

Of course in Bettendorf we had the DuckCreek Mall, before they butchered
that. Team electronics right next to the toystore (forget the name).
Santa was out in the cold. Last time I was in there was in college, looking
at diamond rings. Place reminded me of a morgue.

There are currently three "Super Wal-Mart" stores in the area.
One on North Elmore Avenue, one on the west side of Davenport
on Kimberly, and one in Moline. They are working on the details of
opening a fourth in Rock Island.

The K-Mart on Kimberly closed. I believe it is a hobby store now.

Target moved to Elmore Avenue, and is not a "Super Target".

Duckcreek mall is trying to save itself. It tore down one of the big
stores, and built on a free-standing (no mall access that I can see)
Home Depot. It just opened three weeks ago. I doubt it will help, as
it is so similar to Lowes. There are two Lowes in the QC area, and
they are easier to get to.

K&K is still there, and it's business is still very strong.
I stopped shopping at that store because they no longer allow people
to pick and choose their nuts and bolts, and write down on the bag
what they are buying. A store employee has to take everything you
want and write down individual SKU numbers, which makes a quick trip
to the store to get a handfull of parts take an hour. Too many other
True Value stores in the area for me to deal with that. None of the
other ones do that.

I don't recall a Turnstyle at Bradey and Kimberly. There is a HOOTERS
there now. (north west corner of the intersection)

Things change over time, and not always for the better.
