    cnc fitting a bridgeport

    How do I do it? What do I need. I am thinking about getting a new bridgeport and fitting it with cnc servos.

    How much would it cost?

    If you're buying "new", why not buy it in a CNC version?

    30k that is why... I oculd purschase a new one for 12500. I dont know how much the cnc kits are though. I just want more info.

    I mean for 30k I would probably be better off with something from haas for 30k with coolant and a toolchanger.

    It will actually be a bit more if you add ballscrews on the x and y axis.
