Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Adding Stepper Motors/controller to a generic metal lathe

Mike McWhinney,
I have three of their (JET) products. All three are of poor quality.
I spend more time working on the lathe then making parts.

Hello,

We are interested in a CNC metal lathe, such as this one:

http://www.wmhtoolgroup.com/shop/index.cfm?navPage=4&iid=137565

However, we would like to retrofit this to be CNC, controlled with
steppers. Has anyone ever done this with Jet lathes or similar products?
What size steppers would I be looking at? NEMA 23 or 34?

Thanks.
