Re: CNC Router/Mill
Hey question, its not quite CNC related, but I rather not start another thread.

I found a Bridgeport "M head" (round ram) milling machine for cheap. Does anyone know how well this mill will suite a FRC team? What should I look for before I buy it? Does anyone know of a good cheap source for DRO that would fit this mill?

And since its a CNC thread, how much is it to convert a Bridgeport to CNC?

Thanks.
