Hi, I am justing getting into metal machining. I bought an older Sheldon 13x56 lathe and an older Bridgeport mill several months ago and have learned quite a bit.
Now I would like to learn to design and machine using CAD/CAM software.
Is it possible and worth converting these 40+ year machines to CNC?
If not, I'd like to start with a bench top CNC lathe. Can anyone make some recommendations as to what machine I should look for.
I am not sure if I should buy a used CNC lathe or another used lathe and convert it to CNC.
Thoughts...?
