just ordered an 6040 machine, but i have a chanche at buying an emco f1p mill from my school, for roughly 3-400 dollars. i will learn about steppers and the operations of such machines when the 6040 arives, but will i as a noob, manage to get the old steppers to run of a new controller, or switching them out entirely for modern stuff? the machine runs with the manual jogs, but will not run any program, so i know the steppers work.
