I asked for this forum because I haven;t found anyone running a CNC wood lathe. I do custom and architectural turning and have been using a Legasy Ornimental Mill for the last 3 years and it doesen't have the capisity I need, I started researching buildind a larger machine and that progressed into the 4 axis machine I am now building. I will be able to turn up to 24" by 10'. Presently I have X, Y and Z running and discovered I need to rebuild the gantry because of flex. I have the parts for the A axis and should get started on it this week. Getting the machine up and running is critical and I have basicly shut the shop till it is finished. I am running Mach 3 and have the ability to bring the machine up as a mill or lathe. 4 months ago I couldn't spell CNC so ANY suggestions or tips would be appreciated.
