Re: Taig CNC mill - Bridgeport

Here in the Phila area, they go for $2,000 to $3,500.

I am looking at a a Bridgeport with a DRO for $2,000
now.

Any Idea of how much the total/final cost will be to do
a 3 axis CNC conversion ? If it's like anything else,
the conversion will dwarf the cost of the mill.
