| It can do 3D but at reduced feedrates. I have a shop that started doing patterns years ago on 2 V2XT machines in his basement. Then he built a shop and added a VMC1000. All these have the DX32 controls of different vintages. He can start a program, go to the beach, come back a few days later to a finished part. But it cannot compete against a new machine configured correctly for 3D. There are a number of die shops in north west Alabama that use old Bridgeport VMC machines. They added win 3.11 for workgroups and a ethernet card to download the large programs to the hard drive and they DNC from there. Slow but the machines are paid for and keep on going. George
