RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Bridgeport clone conversion

That would be good, but I live in New Mexico I would think the shipping
would kill me?

Thanks everyone for all the comments I really appreciate all the help and
idea's!!

Hi Walt,

Would you have any interest in a CNC knee mill iron? I have a Hurco KMB1
that needs motors and a control. The machine is located in upstate New York.
I can provide more information and pictures if you are interested. X 24 Y 12
Z 5 knee 14 spindle rpm 40 - 4000 direct drive (could be 60 - 6000 with AC
variable frequency driver changes)

Have a good day,

Jim Fleig

Hi all

I am trying to decide what to do, I have the chance to get a almost new
Bridgeport 9 x 49 clone for free, my question is should I convert this to
cnc or buy an IH, Novakon, Mikini or Tormach?

I have a converted HF mini mill right now that I converted myself using
plans from Fignoggle. It works great, but I quickly out grew it in project
size. My little hobby is developing into a moldmaking, prototype business.
Not complaining, but I am constantly struggling with how to do something on
the limited travels of my x2.

Just looking for some honest oppinions on what I should do.

Thanks
Walt
