    I have been wanting to do a CNC lathe conversion for a long time. I have not converted my Jet 13X40 because I still use it manual a lot and I don't want to retract from its ease of manual use.

    Re: Mold base

    Thanks Doug.

    I assume it would be the U frame bases I want?

    I was also looking at the F.I.T.S. aluminum frames from PCS. Can you comment on them vs. the MUD frames?

    For small parts what...

    Re: PathPilot 2.x and PathPilot Simulator

    A company that sees you are working on improvements to their product and instead of shunning you they invite you to participate and help them improve. Good to see. Three cheers for Tormach.

    Re: CO2 Laser absorbing paint???

    I think most paints will absorb laser, hence be burned away. I used a blue engine enamel from a spray can once as a solder resist and removed with my laser. The harder part will be finding the...

    CNC tool carts

    I would like to make a tool cart for my TTS tool holders. There are a lot of nice trays, etc. that can go on the Tormach machines, but I think I would rather have a rolling cart type since I use the...
