    Isn't one of the advertisers here selling a CNC version of this lathe for like $1700? Seems to me I recall clicking on a link one time. It was a very clean-looking conversion.

    Edit: www.novakon.net was the seller, but they don't appear to have it on thier site anymore. Just higher-end stuff.

    It probably won't be there for long, 374. Better go lift a wallet or play some poker and get $100

    Interesting, blades, Sieg has a similar pic, with the belt gaurds for the driving of x and z:

    So, I guess a CNC'd version is "factory and available... somewhere. Perhaps someone will find a way to order the factory parts. Looks like the lead screw is driven by a shaft under it going back to the main motor.
