Excellent work Craig, this adds a whole new dimension to those curved signs of yours.

Thanks Guys, Yes I'm having FUN

Though Not a true power workhouse, This thing does have some versatility.  

Used ArtCam for shape design from dxf file and then to create the stl file, Rhino to position the stl object in 3d space, DeskProto to generate the gcode, then a text editor to swap the axis's to the lathe profile.

Takes Years, a lot reading and then Trial & Error till it finally starts to make sense.
Now to see if I can write a post processor for Rhino5/MadCam 5axis

Lot more head/brain work than designing & building Progressive or Deep Draw Dies.

Say it aint so Craig, Say it aint so.

got the 6th axis mounted and almost fully tuned, looking like it just might be a viable feature. I'm liking it.

Converted two 4 cell MagLites to one 3.6volt rechargeable cell. Loving this lathe to cut ID and OD threads 27mm 1mm pitch. Makes a great lite next to the bed.

Very neat work Craig ( it makes it a better length to fit onto the 'old faithful' you keep under your pillow  )
