hey guys, im new here, and im looking at buying a 3 axis cnc bridgeport machine, i would say its a 9.5 out of 10 mechanically but its got bad electronics. im getting a deal on it and it comes as complete as it gets, a bunch of tooling is included and complete coolant tank with pump and it even comes with every manual it came with when bought new.
ok, so here is the plan, buy the machine, buy MACH3 software in install into a pc, go with gecko drives and break out board and call it a day. simple enough right... lol bad part is all this wiring stuff is over my head and im looking for someone in my area to give me a lending hand or trade some favors for machine time etc etc
i own TPR Motorsports and specialize in building drag race/street/strip old school rear wheel drive corollas from 1967-1987 and figured it was time to step up and get my own fabrication equiptment instead of having to out source everything to other shops. we also have a large 20" swing and 144" between centers lathe, a mini lathe, mig tig and stick welders, and a large capacity twin post horizontal bandsaw.
anyway, any help suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated
some info on the bridgeport: it has 3 large SEM servo motors, and pneumatic brake and speed control
thanks again guys and if this post is in the wrong section please let me know and point me in the right direction and ill move it accordingly
