I really do not know much about CNC lathes.
I am interested in this lathe because it can do complex threading.
http://www.microkinetics.com/btlathe.htm Threads that have multiple leadings, tapered threads, and almost any pitch. There is a special indexer that you use to control the lathe spindle.
My question is do most CNC lathes have this capability? When I look up other CNC desk top lathes they say they can do threading but they do not call out the functions like on this web page.
Thanks
Dan.
