Bridgeport Manual to CNC conversion...

[Davek0974]

Based on advice, 750w AC servos and 2:1 is ideal on a bridgeport so that is whats going in, totally overkill for the Z axis but the price of smaller motors is higher so i cant see the point really, keep it all the same.

Got a few parts on the way - stainless panel mount keyboard, stainless panel mount trackball, some bits from the box at work - nice 10-turn pots and dials for FRO & SPO controls, a few spare relays and other bits and bobs.

Just about got a source lined up for a ballscrew kit - this bit really hurts the wallet :(

Does anyone have a drawing or sketch that would give me the dimensions of the right table (X) bearing bracket and the front (Y) bearing plate??

Mine will be missing as I have the original 6F power-feeds which will be taken off when i convert.

I can get the parts but the prices seem silly and they surely must be an easy enough part to make up from steel or aluminium?

Thanks
