Let's See Your Lathe

[Rickabilly]

CNCism isn't a sin,

Without it, none of the manual machines we all use would be cheap enough, for most of us to purchase, whether they be displaced or manufactured by CNCs we owe our hobby to them nowadays.

Losing my CNCs was like cutting my legs off, and I really have just the one goal, this being to get some CNC capacity back as soon as I can. This time around I will be converting rather than buying commercial sized stuff, but with my back, leaning and reaching for handles is insane when there is another way, and there are few skills that I haven't experienced on manual machines over the last 25 years,

I even have designs on converting my shaper, and I want to convert my big Horizontal/Vertical mill, the priority on this is to set up a slotting attachment on it first, as I want it to be a CNC slotter as well, but I think I will sell off my other three lathes to finance the ideal lathe for a CNC conversion,
