Well, maybe. I have very underpowered 1/8 Hp continuous motors on my Series I Bridgeport. Yes, it rounds off corners a bit when trying to make a sharp corner at higher speed. I really don't mind that, it rarely can even be detected. I calculated that neglecting losses, I can deliver about 750 Lbs of linear force to the table. It is able to snap off a 3/8" end mill without the servo amps faulting or getting a following error. (That's why I now do setup at lower speeds - the machine is faster than my eyes can detect interference.)
Iggy mentioned 500 - 600 Lbs force, that might be iffy on a Series II.
