    CONVERSION: Re: Bridgeport Manual to CNC conversion...

    To be honest, Colin if your converting a Bridge port then I would seriously consider Closed-Loop steppers because they will easily match the performance that Bridgeport limits you too. In my opinion,...

    I think they are probably used quite widely on Chinese industrial machines ie not just for export to Western hobby users.

    Mine came with connectors and rather long tails with all connections...
  10. Re: Bridgeport rebuild, Turcite or Marlon anti friction material

    The latter. Brian is a very helpful guy and can get you machine in tip top shape for a very very good price.
