just wondering because i know at my dads shop he hav a bridge porter...if so ill do little research and maybe start bridge porting for people for a lot cheaper! well lata

 

bridgeport is a make of machine tool http://www.bpt.com/

 

oh thanks for fixing my stupidness...would a persion drill press do the trick? u think? for any kind of porting?

 

I think bridge ports are usually drilled out and then finished off with a die grinder and a cutting burr. So a drill press sounds like it could be a usefull tool for creating a bridgeport.

The big difference between a milling machine a drill press is weight mills are big and heavy to hold stuff firm and resist vibration. You cannot mill anything has any weight to it on a drill press. You could use a mill to do porting but only on the face egdes, not the depth or angle of the port.

 

well they have a few cnc machines..by the way they make the molds for wilson sporting goods golf *****...so i think after some research i might wright some code for the cnc machine to do it. can someone give me a link to like a "how to bridge port if so that would be great..lata

 

good luck, seems like an aweful lot of trouble, unless you want to port a lot of housings real fast.

You'll need to write 2 cnc files If I'm not mistaken, b/c of the 2 sides to each rotor.
I really don't know why you wouldn't just get the templates and do them by hand.

Mazdatrix.com has the templates.

 

Maybe a streetporting code for the machine would be good. Jorx81, I think he said that he wanted to be able to do it for other people for less money, in which case a machine that does it for you would be nice. Good luck.

 

yeah see i can get the templates and use the machine manuelly to do the first job..and just record the code and easly repeat...but like i said ill have to do some research

 

If I'm not mistaken my buddy uses a bridgeport end mill to bridgeport housings. His car was a monster so I guess it works

 

the ports would still need some pollishing by hand.

 

Oh yes, they certainly need to be shaped and cleaned up before considered complete.
