    Asuratman, this was a school project, so I'm not actively working on it. I might re-open it later though if I get the time.

    I'd be interested in a lathe headstock to mount on the table of my CNC Bridgeport (clone).

    Requirements include:
    1 -- Speed up to around 3000 rpm (minimum)
    2 -- C-axis control with servo control and low backlash
    3 -- (negotiable) Automatic collet closer

    The Blight,
    OK, so you will do new one based on many feedback in here.

    Ken,
    You want to have the one like this How to Order | Turn any CNC mill into a precision CNC lathe.

    Nope. That doesn't have the servo controlled C-axis. (And it costs a lot more than my mill cost me.)
