RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Lathe conversion to CNC

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the feedback. I also am having a bit of trouble finding any
information on converting a mini-lathe to cnc.
I have a Jet 10x24 lathe I use every day but do not want to convert it. Any
information and/or details you could proved me will be greatly appreciated.

Larry
