Reviving a Classic Bridgeport CNC Machining Center with a Centroid Retrofit!

Bridgeport Torq-Cut 30 Retrofit by juspk

Click here to see the page!

Bridgeport Torq-Cut owner juspk says: "I've had the machine for about 10 years, in my home workshop. It was working up until the day I decided to update it with Centroid control. Searching these community boards has been a tremendous help. Thanks for all the help from Centroid and other individuals that have shared their knowledge. I could't have done it without this forum. I am not a machinist, I am a hobby-machinist, but worked in a small prototype machine shop just outside Bridgeport, CT from when I was a sophomore in HS all the way through college (early 90's). It was the best job a kid could get. Bridgeport machines are somewhat nostalgic to me. I pretty much know I went overboard with Reactors and EMI Filters for each drive, but...I'm just following the recommendations and this is my pet project :) "
