Semi Automate My Guide & seat Machine

[racear*2865]

I have a seat and guide machine that does some work just like a Bridgeport. I'll tell you up front that I can make most any thing from a machine, but when I get into what yall are doing, I have brain farts. I want to power the spindle up and down. I have a stepper motor. I do not know where to go to from here. I love projects (gets me away from the house and gives me more beer time). Would any one be interested in telling me where to go ( the lady of the house already told me where to go) and what steps to take. I can take criticisimn, so don't mind stepping on my toes.
thanks to any one that doesn't mind amateurs

Hi, I just saw this thread. It sounds interesting to me. Can you post a couple pics of the machine you are asking about? It will help to figure out how to go about powering it. Dave
