Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Still broken Bridgeport.

You may have to have air pressure (90 psi, or more) to run. Also, does
your spindle turn?? Do you have lubricating oil in the reservoir? Some
machines won't move unless the tank's filled to a certain amount, and air
pressure is applied, to make sure the ways and ballscrews get properly
oiled. There should be an error log somewhere that flags faults. You must
not have any manuals... Sometimes, Bridgeport would disconnect the Y-axis,
and use the cable for the driven indexer head, and call it the 4th axis.
