My question is WHY? If it ain't broke... don't fix it!

I have a Bridgeport running on Mach3 and I have a friend with an EZ Trak. I see no advantage to the EZ Trak.

Also, you don't say anything about your Mach3 setup - stepper or servo? If it is steppers, You will need servo motors and encoders. Does this "console" include them? If the Mach3 machine has servos, the drivers won't work with the EZ Trak.

It is likely that the only thing useful on the Mach3 machine, is the iron itself. You will need EVERYTHING else (servos, encoders, computer, etc.) from the EZ Trak. Then you will need the expertise to set it up and tune it (assuming all the parts function properly).
