Taig CNC Lathe: First Run...

Ok, so as most of you know, I've been putting together my first little CNC from scratch. Well, maybe not scratch as I started off with a Taig "manual" Micro lathe and put together a little piece of art -
I'm still very much learning about all this and need to learn a LOT more before I'm making any useful parts with it. It needs to be fitted with home/limit switches and other assorted schtuff but I'm getting there slowly but surely.
As for the video, I have no idea what I'm doing so bear with the editing and all that crap.... lol!
All in all, I'm seriously happy so far with what I've got and I promise to get some nice still pics of the unit and explain more about it later.

Good Job Dave. You did a good job on the video as well. Isn't this stuff addictive? You get to learn much more than just Mach (as if that isn't enough) in the process.

Indeed it is addictive, Brett.
What sucks is I have a family and 2 jobs so it's so hard to get a lot done with it but I'm hoping having these little cnc's will create more time for me
.........ahhhh...who am I kidding, it's only going to allow me to make
MORE
parts (read "work")
Thanks,
Dave

Some more pics for you as promised....
I setup some home switches today and made the z axis adjustable to be able to have my z home wherever I'd like using a stainless steel adjustable rod on the headstock. I think this would be a pretty nice feature since that position may change with certain jobs that would be done.
