I had a look at the CNC lathe Novakon has "in development". I was wondering what people thought of it.
For me there are a few issues:
1) No indication of the spindle mount, but it doesn't seem to be a D1-3 or D1-4. Anything else would be a deal killer for me.
2) It's unclear how you'd mount a drill chuck on the toolpost. The tailstock extension is too short for any meaningfull drilling.
3) The three videos are all turning ops. I'd want to see drilling and threading.
4) No indication of and chucks being supplied with the lathe, nor a steady rest.
5) Doesn't state how the spindle is driven. I'm assuming direct servo.
6) Indications of tolerance/repeatability missing.
