There is one of these machines on Ebay now and I have a few questions about that series. I would appreciate any help.

Here is the link.


used Bridgeport Mill w/ EZ Path CNC Control 3 | eBay

It appears to be a 2003 model in the transition from bridgeport to hardinge.

The serial number is HDNG 0212.

Is this Chinese iron? I suspect it is.

How different is the computer system? controller cards, etc?

It appears to have an electronic speed control.

I did call some repair facilities with questions about this series. One reported being in the process of getting a machine back working for a company in NH where the video has ceased to function. He cannot find parts for that unit. The mother board apparently has a special video card or output no longer supported.

Any ideas or comments on what could be done in the event this machine had problems.

The price is fairly cheap. They are getting offers in the 6k range and they would let it go for $8500. Jim
