    If you want to use a mill with a lathe spindle mounted in X, using Mill X as Lathe Z and Mill Z as Lathe X then there's nothing special to do apart from fixing a tool to the mill head and configuring your axes in Mach3 and correctly defining your machine in any CAM package you use.

    magicniner - Yes suddenly dawned on me to just flip the axies. Seems to work OK. Just have to finish the rotary bit.

    If you only need to machine small parts, then you can do it like I (and many others) did:

    Old router build log here. New router build log here. Lathe build log here.
    Electric motorbike project here.
