Great job! Could you share the part numbers for your build? I am upgrading an old Bridgeport CNC upgrade too and it sounds like you are very happy with the system.
If I get a chance I'll gather up all of the parts that I bought. Took me a few months and lots of research but yes I'm real happy with the Lead Shine steppers kits paired with the Centroid controller. The Centroid pendant that I added later was a few minute set up.
How are you getting the third axis? Are you driving the knee? I going to convert my Sharp mill from 2 axis to 3 axis, but I think that I am going to use the quill for the third axis.
yes. The Bridgeport already has power quill feed and I didn't want to change that so I use the knee for the Z axis. It' so heavy its real smooth up and down.
I love an old knee mill! Super sweet!
0 backlash! 🙌
It's really solid. Cuts way heavier than I'm brave enough to try
Nice! Thanks for posting. Great explanation.
Glad it was helpful!
