    Newbie here in desperate need of tech support!

    Hello folks. this is my first post.

    Goal: Find a fairly small metal lathe and related hardware/software to produce, design and customize trumpet mouthpieces. That and some helpful guides, literature etc.

    Don't need much size as a mouthpiece is less than four inches long. I have plenty of brass rod stock.

    Thank you for your anticipated support in advance.

    Hello and welcome.

    One choice is member JFettig's (Jon) products: http://jfettigmachines.com/ I believe he offers a complete small lathe converted to CNC. For software, you can run Mach which is great and inexpensive. Jon can give you all the details.
