Oh ok, yea I'm wanting something like this Air Powered, Front Mount, B60, Dead Length Collet Chucks once I can order the SL6 with upgraded spindle bore so I can use a bar puller and pull a 2"...

Is it a pneumatic 3 jaw? Just looking at that pic.

Nice post up more pics of the machine when you have a chance. What is the air used for? Pneumatic collet chuck?

So any updates?

Awesome keep is posted with pics/ video once you get things operational. I really think this brand of machines is going to take off.

Awesome, it would be cool to see these machines become a little more popular with some community forum support especially since its the same controller on various machines. Did you finance your or...

Actually I just looked at their site and they are listing more of the bigger machines now.

Yea I may actually end up custom ordering one of the bigger machines they can have built. They are not on their web site but they have bigger machines available for custom ordering. I'm just playing...

Not yet, still trying to find a new shop location I'm completely out of room.

Yes I did stop up. The machine seemed pretty decent they turned some parts for me there. I downloaded a demo version of the controller to mess with in my spare time because I have some saving to do...

I think in the 3k range

They do its the part number ATL208-B60D4

I have been thinking about the AutoMate lathe as well. Debating on maybe one of these or, a Tormach or just converting my manual 14x40. I'm curious as to if anybody actually has one of these? I...

I'm interested in this any updates?

Well I am still trying to figure out which drive system route I want to go. But I did contact Matt over at Quality Machine Tools and he said he can set up up with the turret off his 1330 CNC for...

I found his email and asked some questions he replied back with:

"I have been very pleased with both of my machines. I did tell myself that I would use ac servos on all future builds, although I...

I found a build that I really like, the machine is smaller but is along the lines of how I would like to build mine. Does anybody have any opinion on the hybrid servo motors, I guess they are...

Well I have been doing a lot of thinking and I'm pretty sure I just want to convert my machine over. I keep thinking of different uses production and custom that I could really use having a cnc lathe...

Well, I have had this lathe for about a year now and I I have been looking into having some of our higher qty parts RFQ for CNC turning. The prices are coming back higher than we really want to pay...

Gotcha, thanks for the offer through. It is going to be a little while before I can put the funds up for the conversion, getting my Dynatorch converted over to dual X axis drives and maybe an air...

Northern Ohio about 45 min west of downtown Cleveland.

Nice, it seems like the turret would be a must when I move forward with the conversion. Have had a lot of other projects going on and working on upgraing my plasma table to get it cutting smoother....

Digging up an old thread but some good info here. I am about to pull the trigger on upgrading my 07 machine to dual drives, as well as the gear rack on both sides of the X axis. How much of a cut...

CPK_Jim did you ever have a chance to take any videos of the machine running? I think I have all the issues with my lathe figured out. Alot of the stuff I do is real quick small manual operations but...

Ok, the majority of my threads will be UNF in 3/4 to 1-1/4 maybe some down in the 1/2" range. I think I'm going to order these floating holders at least for now so I can get some production done with...

Does anybody know if the floating tap and die holders will thread faster than the cnc single point method?

Thanks for the pics looks like the machine is definitely paying for its self. Is there any advantage or disadvantage as to running the gear belts vs a direct servo to screw? I'm sure adding the tool...

Thanks for the replies. Any pictures of how things are setup would be great. I have really been thinking about the servos as my Dynatorch Plasma table runs on servos as well as my vinyl plotter so, I...

I think I may just end up going with a Mach Motion system. Still debating on a stepper system or servos though. I did get my PM1440VB here but am having issues with the motor not doing anything. The...

I just found this company CNC Masters that makes a similar lathe that is already converted and can be used CNC or manually. This is what I want to do. I called them and they will not sell the CNC...
