I meant not too much money. And use what i have at hand.


And about the Hobbymat lathe, i meant fit a servo drive and use it mainly on the CNC as 4rth axis. may be only the head part. All via Mach3. If i need lathe, i have small stepper generating circuit.

How is that i will need no braking, of course i will. Or you think a stepper or servo can hold enough. It cant. Especially if i make pulleys there.
