Bridgeport Manual to CNC conversion...

Got the panel finished, bench-tested, all passed 100% :)

Got the pendant rough-wired so i could bench-test the panel, seems functional.

All axes homed and jogged perfectly, no surprises, e-stop system seems to work ok.

Managed to lug the panel into the cabinet, nearly ruptured myself but it's in now and bolted down.

Tomorrow will be final wiring on the switches and limits etc, plus re-rigging the pendant for the next power-up test. Then I'll probably strip the pendant and send it out for powder-coating, or just spray it if impatience takes over ;)

Small jobs to do like secure some of the cables when i work out where they need to be, make the belt covers, cover the Z axis drive, fit the light, then figure out how to run her ;)
