Re: Lathe Conversion

Ken,
Let me start with that I am a neophyte on this subject.

I would LOVE to have a cnc lathe that size, especially one that i
woud refit to servos (if not already) and to modern software and
drives. high res motors and encoders, a gig or two pc to run it, and
off to the races.

this thing doesn't happen to be in texas or near it, does it? Just in
case you pass on it.

Best of luck

jeffe
