I have a question!! I've just purchased a bridgeport r2e3 cnc. I've been reading on some sites and it seems as though they have quite a number of programming glitches. This is my first cnc and I was wondering if I had mabe a bad purchase? Can you guys fill me in on what I am getting myself into?

Very powerful software in it. Worst part is that you need a PC to input and edit programs.
Also since it is technology over 20 years old, it has limitations such as the amount of memory it has. Using loops and macros, you can get around that. Weakest part of the machine is the LCD display (made by epson and no longer available), and the FMDC board.
