Re: Bridgeport Series I BTC - some help

Chris says:
I decided to purchase one of the Bridgeports he had
- it's a Series I CNC w/toolchanger (BTC).

-- requests for useful information snipped --

I bought a Series II CNC because Joe Vicars convinced me
that the Series I was a lightweight toy :).

$500 in equipment rental later made me realize that
5000lbs is nothing to sneeze at (I shoulda rented a 10000lb
boom forklift in the first place, woulda saved me $150)

Anyway, I don't have a toolchanger and my controls were
gutted, which is the way I wanted it. That old stuff is
just too hard to deal with. I suggest you buy Geckos and
a modern VFD. Don't know what to tell you about the toolchanger.

Good luck!
