Hey Sam,
Oh, ok, I am sorry, my memory and me, is old..... Yes, I did the Screen set, and Brians for the Uni-track machine, but I did it for Derrik "Hillbillie" Ashburn. He did ALL the rest of that machine, and really only needed me, just cause he was under a time constaint and I could crank out a screen set/brain faster. He did a Superb job, on that machine. It had Two Z axis Heads and Two Y axis (one for each head), I had to make some custom controls so that you could slave and unslave Y's/Z's, plus it had a W axis as well. In total it had all 6 axis being used. If memory served since it was a MASSIVE planner mill, he had to use a 30 hp. Baldor motor for the X axis. The machine cut Switch Track rails for the railroad, so the overall tolorance wasnt that critical in the X, I think it was within the envolope of the normal gearing "slop" of the machine.
At any rate, I was wondering, since you live so close to me, if I could come and see that lathe!! Could you give me a call on the phone if it is a do-able thing?

I would LOVE to find some old iron like that, that is even close to that good of shape!!
