If you can turn, mill and are willing to butcher your machinery then CNC will not be a problem for you.

CNC is a liberation. When curves become just as easy as straight lines, you output suddenly starts to look prettier.

Thanks Irvin, Robin, do i know you:naughty: CB625?

I have just bought a small Boxford 125TCL in need of updating. Which sections appropriate?

No problem writing in basic i have a nice Casio calculator still from 1984. Ok on the Apple 2E but forget the Atari ST.

Which one have you got, Mk4?

Small world Robin we have met think it was 1998 Weston Park, Combro in development stage.
Got two Mark4's both need to go back to you.

I also converted my 125TCL some years ago, these photo’s give some idea what needs to be done if you are going to control it from a PC I, use Mach3, unfortunately I don’t have any of it finished, if it would help you I will open it up at the weekend and take some more.
