    Removing ballscrew Bridgeport Interact II

    Does anyone have an electronic manual for removing the x axis ballscrew from this machine?
    Not sure how to remove the ballscrew. Has anyone removed one before and can go over the basics for me?

    take off the two handles and bearing support plates at each end of the table. then the whole table will slide off to one side onto a lift or die cart. (might have to loosen gibs if worn too much) yopu will see the rest from this point.

    the ball screw is not attatched to the table from undernieth just at both ends.

    The ball nut goes though double yolk that holds bot the x and y screws

    remove the two handels at each end of the table and both bearing supports that are just behind the handles,

    The whole table will now just slide off to either the left or right. get a fork lift or die cart to support it as you slide it off.

    from there there ar a few screws holding the ball nut into a yolk.

    I think you are thinking about a manual Bridgeport Mill or the cnc ez trak,the Ineract series 2 is a full cnc & does not have handles on the ends of the table, & is constructed very different than a manual machine
