    Good work but do you have any more work on it since?

    How is the life without the tail stock?

    Re: Is it still a HArbor Freight 7x10 lathe?

    I regret to inform you that there has not been any movement on this in a lot longer than a hot minute. I am suffering from limited time in the shop and the old cnc mill of mine was acting up and screwed up multiple times with the x and y aixs just cutting out at weird times for absolutely no reason. So, I did what every other responsible home built cnc owner does... upgraded to a Tormach 1100 pcnc. Man does the 100-5000 rpm help, as does the m03, mo4, m05, m08, and the m09 ****ing rock.... I had manual controls for all of that before, and it was rough.

    That said... I did actually get my hands on some nasty bldc motors that will work great for the spindle motor and I picked up some encoders too. So that is pretty cool.

    I am also redesigning my tool turret to go from a ratchet and pawl system to a hearth ring and a pneumatic piston with oilite bearings and a stepper to index with bellville springs to keep it all together and tight against the ring.

    Sorry guys!
