I just bought a bridgeport series 1 C2R3 CNC mill from an auction. I have to buy everything not heavy steel for this machine. I'm looking for recomendations for the breakout board,and motor drivers that work the best with mach 4. Im going to be running windows 10 64 bit
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

General Mach Discussion / mach 4 learning the machine drive ratios
« on: December 11, 2020, 02:52:30 PM »
Good day everyone. Welp, I have just purchased a bridgeport cnc series 1 from an auction. I have to upgrade all the motors, drivers, breakout board, and have to  find drive pulleys for the motors, as all this stuff has been removed before the auction. My questions are
1. Can mach 4 learn from the ratios between the motor drive and driven pulleys, as I have two pulleys that I cannot source with what tooth count I think I need. I believe these were originally a 2 to 1 drive system for the x and y. Can I compensate in the software for a close, but different ratio
2. I have to find out what stepper drivers, and breakout board mach 4 needs. Is there any resource for this?
The system will be windows 10, 64bit
Thanks in advance.
