CNC Noob looking for help

[Lee Roberts]

Hi and welcome to the forum Daniel, any updates on your diy cnc lathe ?

Welcome! I haven't built a lathe from scratch but have converted a Myford S7.

You might find this thread interesting.

Thanks you for all the replays and I am very sorry form the very late response.
I´ve had a lot to do last year and I still do, that meant the cnc lathe has been a very slow build but some work was done and it made its first chips about 2 weeks ago.

It's still very rough and unfinished, but it kinda works, and I am very happy with it.


Here's some pic's of the part it made while I was testing, also heres are links to YouTube if you want to see some videos of the lathe working.

I promise I will make a thread for the build with all the details when I finish the lathe.
