Made the mounting bracket for motor/gearbox today and then decided to pull the cylinder and shaft off the front turret so I could see what exactly I had to make up for mounting them. Decided I might as well just go the whole hog and pull the complete turret, hopefully I will get the turret finished before I need to do any serious internal work. I still have two manual lathes that I use quite a bit but anything with tapers or threads, especially internally is much easier on the CNC.
I mounted the motor/gearbox to the turret and offered up the shaft and cylinder to see how they looked, hopefully tomorrow I will get the bush housings made and may even get as far as mounting the cylinder.
Heres a couple of pics, my lathe looks bare without the front turret
