Default Bridgeport Series I CNC, how to run it.


"Ignoramus28574" wrote in message ...
I finally brought that Series I CNC Bridgeport to my warehouse.

It does power up.

It does not complain of anything, however, I was pressing various
buttons and I could not get it to do anything, such as move in X, Y,
and Z.

I did take it out of E-Stop.

I am wondering if anyone has a manual for it, or a simple instruction
like "press this and then press that button" to just get it to move
and move the spindle.

Thanks



I haven't run one of those in about 35 years but if I recally correctly, it needs to be put into "setup" mode in order for the jog buttons to be active.
