Hi Andy,
I hope your recovery from surgery goes quick and easy.
Congratulations on your purchase. I have a Bridgeport "knee mill" and even this early in my build I'm using it so much. I'm sure you will enjoy your machine many time to come when you get in to a bind late at night.
Mine came three phase 440/220 V and in NY we don't have three phase in residential homes so I made a rotary phase converter to make three phase power. I was going to go with a Inverter (VFD) but ended up with this setup. How is your Inverter setup working out? Did you make the small control box?
It's great that you got a DRO with it. Hope you got some tooling with it, too. Here in states the machines are cheap but good quality tooling is expensive.
BTW, keep on the great work on your GT40!
Regards,
Renato
