Lathe ATC Options?

[Ross77]

Interested depending on price of course!

So out of interest what would be considered a good price? the Denford ones are around £500 but given material costs and the labour it would be hard to meet that price. Also it is so much more ridged, it really is in a different league. (even if I do say so my self :o) )

Also interested in this - I've read quickly back over the thread and I *think* (I could be wrong) that you are designing something around the 50mm centre height? (ie. Myford compatible?). Price is king of course - as a hobbyist that sometimes wonders if he needs a lathe, much above £500 starts getting a bit sweaty... I appreciate the material, effort and NRE on these things but have to balance desire vs need.
