I want to buy a mini lathe and set it up with mach3 software/hardware so I can make e-cig atomizers kind of like this one below. I am wondering if someone can point me in the direction of what lathe and parts to buy, so I can convert a mini lathe into an automated machine with the mach3 software.

for not a lot of cash you can pick up some really nice used small cnc lathes.
I have a couple pm me for details.

JDA, you do realize that such vaporizers are available from China for about $20 US, don't you? Kind of makes a hobby investment risky, IMO.

I do realize that china makes knock offs for good price but I belong to a few groups that follw the higher end mods and collect them in an addictive fashion. Im not looking to get rich I am looking to make my own mark on a small group and see where it goes from there. I do really find this stuff interesting and would like to learn to make other hobby parts as well. Thank you for the reply.

Well, good luck to you, JDA. I am somewhat familiar with vaporizers because a relative is heavily involved, too. Anything that helps people avoid tobacco use is a plus with me.
