The control is a trickle feed (300 bps) or paper tape I understand. I don't have 3 phase, so I was thinking of converting the control side so I could run it single phase (shouldn't be too hard) and the installing a VFD for the spindle, which I want to do anyway.
Thanks for the input. I think it will pretty much depend on what I can get the unit for - I'm not willing to pay extra for a BOSS control that works, because it's of limited utility, and I'm familiar with EMC already. If I rebuild the controls, I know how to debug them more effectively. Given the comparisons, I'm looking at the Tree 425, Bridgeport series 1 and II's, and a shizuoka AN. It's quite a range there, but the knee mills just seem a little easier to fit into the garage. ;) Thanks!
