Re: Lathe conversion to CNC

Larry,

You might want to ask the 4500+ members at my yahoo group 9x20Lathe.

It's here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/9x20Lathe

(Many members there are users of smaller and larger lathes; more than
a few have found our group worthwhile, since it lacks the "political"
discussions as found in the 7x group...

Hope this helps,

Ballendo

P.S. Yes, IMO it's practical to modify that lathe to CNC.
