Re: Bidgeport Series 1 Retrofit

Many Bridgeports, both manual and CNC and NC have been converted - Quite a
few of the list members have extensive experience with this - I've converted
over 50 of them myself and published plans in HOME SHOP MACHINIST magazine a
few years ago - The HOME SHOP MACHINIST folks have reprinted the articles in
a hardcover book which is named, (I think), PROJECTS SEVEN - I'm working on
a new series to appear next year in HSM -

Nope, I'm pretty sure this is uncharted territory. Bridgeport's CNC mills are
extremely complex pieces of equipment not suited for alteration or
experimentation.
