Hi hope someone can help here; I was looking for a lathe for tinkering
with for small jobs; nothing fancy; anyway got the offer of a shesto cnc
lathe which ran on the old acorn bbc/b computer which I bought, I would like to upgrade it to a more uptodate pc so i can swap for a manual one. Cad ain't my thing.
I was looking at one of these 4 axis contollers from ebay japan; has anyone upgraded one of these old cnc machines and what is involved. What do you recommend I buy and which software do I use with it. I am a complete newbie to this so I apologise for my lack of knowledge in this dept.
