Well i have a choice either sell it for a lot less than i paid for it or convert it? Mines very quiet and runs smooth, not happy with the lead screws on the saddle and cross slide. The main lead screw is poorly fitted at the belt end but in general could polish up very well. I have a 13" southbend that does everything i need so was going to get rid of the small lathe but as a cnc machine would work out very well. It is all about justifying it?

Are you going to complete the rest to make use of it as a CNC lathe as well? would be interested on what you would do about the motor and control?If the nagging gets really bad......Get a bigger shed:naughty:
