Chris,
This is my first experience with CNC.
I do not understand how to generate the G codes. I cannot transfer a dwg. file into Mach3 and have it write the G code? What CAM program would you sugest?

Our company, Ai Control Systems, converted a Bridgeport Series I to PC control. We replaced the servo and spinal drives. We used Cam Soft/Galil for the CNC motion control. We have updated and the original drawings for the machine. If you interested in upgrading the machine maybe we could help.

There is a very basic cam program that comes free with mach3 called lazycam, that will probably be good for you as a first experience.

Thanks for the offer, but I would like to try the upgrade myself.

That look like a BTC1. Did you keep the tool changer? The ability to switch between high and low gear?
