Thanks for that,Tom

Gotta workout my CNC plans first but have purchased the Lathe chuck and spindle asI want to incorporate a lathe into the CNC build.

I was going to buy a Mini Lathe but thought it would be cheaper to buy the necessary components of a Lathe,the motor I already have which came off a cheap table saw,motor is induction type at 2500 rpm's and is very quietso thats a bonus. :-)
