Title: 7x10 CNC Lathe
Post by: MegaMoog on February 11, 2018, 08:48:01 PM

Finally gots my 7x10 lathe converted to CNC!!!  :)
It's a used Harbor Freight from Ebay running with an old Dell Optiplex 980, Windows 10 Pro, 64 bit, Mach4 build 4.2.0.3663, PMDX-416 into a Gecko G540 n all that turns the screws that I got from Billy @ BDTOOLS. Makin some pvc parts for now for GEOCACHING.
Used the Mach4 lathe Turn Cycles n even testing out some threading. So far I'm liking what results its turning out!

Happy machinist... ;D ;D ;D

Converted my 7x14 Microlux last year, same condition as yours (15 years old) and it looks like we're both using the same control box. I am using pmdx-411 and Mach4.  You will love the results using CSS.

Enjoy,
