hi another newbie to the forum but no means new to the world of engineering! i have recently acquired a chester hobby lathe with a few bits and pieces. Seems to run fine and cuts steel, brass ally all with no problems. i am looking at converting it to a cnc lathe and am struggling abit on where to start?
1) is there a complete list of parts needed?
2) where is the best place to buy the parts?
3) is it a case of fitting the parts and plugging in via usb then loading mach3?
4) diagrams of the electric side of things?
this will be my first attempt at anything like this so diagrams, advice, would be very welcome.
ps, sorry its "another" mini lathe cnc conversion thread, im just hoping someone is willing to put some time in to help me out. It just at looking online at conversion kits the prices seem like you may as well buy a professional cnc lathe!!!
i have a load of brass bar ends too that came with the lathe that i dont need if anyone wants them sent to them in the post for helping me out
