Bridgeport Boss CNC Retrofit - best source for complete control cabinet?

Jul 22, 2008 2 Replies

I am going to retrofit a Bridgeport series 1 Boss machine with a new PC based controller. I don't want to bother building up the control cabinet - would rather find a good supplier who can provide a complete control cabinet including Power Supply, Drives, PC interface, etc.



Any recommendations?



Thx Scott Kelley


Ummm... OK Anybody have any thoughts along the lines of the question that I posed?

You said PC based controller, which one?

There are thousands of suppliers & your request is too generic for anyone to make a specific informed recommendation.

What exactly are you looking for?

Existing Plug and play, hobby, professional, stepper, servo, what size?

Your design, BOM & Parts assembled to your specs or someone to design and assemble package for you?

If you are putting together a one off then buying an existing retrofit package "bolt on*" package for a Bridgeport may be the cost effective way to go.
