Hi,
Been messing with lots of electronics, computers for many years. There is a history of clockmaking in the family and I realised that i could get a computer to control lathe for me about 10 years ago and got some sherline bits.
I have made lots of little things but as others will appreciate sherlines are small! I need bigger toys that are automated.
I have a BVM30 Axminster lathe that I seem to spend more time fixing than using that is calling out loud to me that it wants some servo motors attached. It is not going to happen this year, but hopefully next.
cheers,
Jon
