SIP 8P Jig Borer
SIP 8P Jig Borer
I'm afraid that we have nothing marked as specific for the SIP 8P - but this was a machine with the same size and travel of table, head side-to-side travel - and an identical design of table-drive system and measuring equipment as the SIP 6A and 7A models - but designed for production purposes, rather than jig boring (hence the suffix "P").
The following Manual will be of help:
SIP (Society Genevoise) HYDROPTIC-6A and 7A Jig Borer. Operator's Instruction Manual together with Preliminary Instructions Manual and Maintenance Manual as one package. Includes a copy of the detailed and informative Sales & Technical Specification Catalogue.
The 7A was of identical construction and operation to the 6A but with a larger table and extended travels.
