Update (which is somewhat late)
Turret now under full linuxcnc control via a turret controller based on an arduino
The turret controller was designed and build by a fellow member on this great forum Doddy for which I will be eternally great-full
Turret was converted from the original 110v three phase motor and break to a nema 34 stepper motor and 3.5-1 reduction gearbox. It doesn’t make for the fastest tool change ever seen but perfectly acceptable and so far 100% reliable
I am still blown away by the accuracy of this 25 year old lathe all be it I don’t think it as seen a lot of use
I would like to get a four jaw Chuck option, I have a suitable Chuck just need the back plate or dimensions to manufacture my own

Cheers. Paul
