Help! 4 axis contollers from ebay japan

[scotty]

for info - pics of a shesto cnc lathe on ebay here, starting bid £80 with a reserve

scotty, why do you want to swap for a manual one? do you want/need something bigger? A CNC lathe can be driven manually and argueably is easier to use that way than a manual lathe...

Ha! ha! thats my lathe. I was looking for a manual one for small jobs
CAD/CAM I think is a bit much for me but it did not sell so I will upgrade it
and teach myself; I just got some autocad notes and software
I was quoted £290 for new boards and software from cde just wondered if there was a cheaper/better hadware and software alternative
