General Mach Discussion / Re: Retro fitting a old cnc lathe?
« on: March 11, 2007, 01:19:31 AM »
Thanks for your time. I hate to ask for more but if I had to ask for something - it would be what is the difference between these two approaches?
I'm a complete nube at this so if nothing else could you recommend a good source material for understanding some of these concepts?
This is kind of a hobby or weekend project. I've seen commercial retrofits for these lathes costing 20K .
Besides the education I need - what kind of expenses would I expect?
I'm just wondering if this is a project I can afford right now.
Thanks again for the advice,
Dan
