And we're back!
After looking at the 7x12 a bit more I think that building a CNC lathe around it will leave me disappointed. I'm going to give it a good home somewhere else instead.
I've setup a build thread for the 5C spindle that I'm making here: http://www.cnczone.com/forums/vertic...dle_build.html
Rather than going with a full scratch-build I'll be using off the shelf components when I can.
One the spindle is complete I will be restarting this build thread to tackle the rest of the lathe!
Exciting times!
