I need help with installing the Z power feed on my bridgeport. Press fit?

Marcel, just me curious again, about how much power or tork do those have. My need is enough tork to lift a V8 engine block on the table.
I need two hands to crank this, enough I gotta sit down and rest. I already got in my mind these must be big bucks?? anyways good job
and a good place for the dro. sam

Here it is on Enco.http://www.use-enco.com/CGI/INSRIT?PMAKA=307-3695 It's on clearance right now to make room for another model. I bought mine with a 20% off coupon, it ended up costing me $247 to my door. The one I have is the Workhorse AL500SZ, It's the strongest one they make in this brand. Here are the specs, see top row.




To answer your question if it's strong enough to lift a v8...I don't know. It lifts the table with a big 100 lb bridgeport vice on it with ease. I've seen some guys install a counterbalance system on their machines to offset the weight of the table. It's a pretty simple setup. If you do a lot of this heavy stuff, it might be worth looking into. I gotta tell ya that I used it a little yesterday and OMG, it's a freakin dream!
