Hi guys,
I just picked up a bridgeport 9x42" knee mill. I would like to upgrade it to a Prototrak 2 axis setup but I don't want to spend 10-12 grand. Are there some alternatives?
Thanks,
Mike

There are several retrofits of mill threads on the 'Zone.
A very popular method involves the use of Mach 2 or 3.
There may be a servo retrofit that has been done but steppers appear to be more popular/convenient/realistic.
