Hello, I'm looking for a cheap CNC mill for home use. I am tempted to buy a Bridgeport Interact Series 1 CNC Milling Machine I've seen, which has Heidenhain TNC145 control. Firstly, am I correct in thinking that this can not be drip fed via serial so I'm stuck with the 1000 line limit??
I really would like this controlled via serial, so what is the cheapest option on upgrading, / modifying the controller, can I simply swap it out with a 155 unit, any ideas on what price these are going to be?
Would it be cheaper if I converted the machine to Mach3 or similar?
Any help or advice would me magic.
Thanks
Jim
