Bridgeport CNC Mill???

Ron:

If, I was to use the stock stepper motors to start, a PC, Mach3, that USB
Mach3 pendant I sent you the link to.

And use a 4 axis USB card like this off ebay: #320679559433

?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aa9fdc109)

with Gecko ??? stepper drivers.

Could I use the original Bridgeport power supply in the machine, or would I
be better off, just gutting it all?

and use ??? power supply?

Yes. Mach3 doesn't know the difference between a Taig and a BP.
At $700, you are almost at scrap price. Hard to go wrong. If it were
close to me, I'd fight you for it!
