Thank you for starting this topic. I am just starting to convert a new small lathe 10" X 28" to CNC control. I am going to use Mach 3 to control it.
I am hoping to install a variable speed drive and screw cutting features to it as well. if I can get this to work I am going to make up a multiple toll holder of around 6 or 8 tools to replace the tool holder the late has now.
Keep in touch and have fun
Greg
