Hi Gang:
I would really like to see a new design for a Bridgeport head, made to work with CNC. All the converted head are Kludges of the standard casting, with massive add-on for quill control. A new casting might incorporate a proper Z axis drive.
Just wishing. Carl.

Do not just wish nor wait for someone else to do it. If you want that then DIY. That has always been my approach whenever I have been unhappy with some feature.
