I would like a servo controlled lathe though. I keep looking at a place i know for a decent servo suitable to build one from scratch. He takes them off the scrap and normally tosses them to one side. A servo to replace a 3hp equivalent motor would cost a lot of wonga?
Always good to have as much info as you can.

Hood on the Mach3 forum uses a 14 hp servo and he's a Scot.
