Hi all,
I'm currently searching for my first CNC lathe. I've been looking at the boxford 125 TCL and the 160 model with rotating tool head.
I wanted to ask a few questions, I don't know anything about software but as I understand a converted version is better to go for, specifically mach3?
I have experience with Linux operating systems so that's not too much of a concern for me so wanted to ask what's the best route to go, boxford software, mach3 or CNClinux.
Also what's a reasonable price to pay for a machine such as the 125 TCL with rotating tool holder?
Is there any questions I should ask a seller before committing to a given machine?
What is the spindle size on the 125 TCL?
Does this machine require reverse type drill bits or does the spindle reverse?
I'm sure I'll have more questions.
Thanks
Andrew.
