I recently purchased a series 2 bridgeport at an auction. It had a label on the panel that it was 480v, and I confirmed the wiring in the spindle motor was wired up for high voltage. I do not have 480v in my shop (rotary phase converter), and would like to get this wired back to 240v. I can do the motor easy enough, but am lost when it comes to what needs to be changed in the panel. Worst case, I can should be able to pick up a transformer fairly cheap at an upcoming auction, but if I can get it back to 240v, that would be preferred.
Of course, then I'll have to move out my old mill and hope to not have to totally rearrange everything, as this thing makes my old 10x50 Bridgeport clone look tiny.
