I've been threatening to get started on a CNC lathe as soon as Thor was complete. Thor is now basically done, so time to move onto the next project.

The design for the lathe is fairly straight forward. The part I am struggling with is what headstock / spindle to use.

Is it worth buying a standalone headstock from a parted out lathe and use this with a bunch of decent rails / servos? Suppose I could try and make something but not sure I can get the accuracy needed.

Thanks
