    My CNC mill with mini lathe performing CNC lathe operations

    Hey guys. I have a very simple setup here. I have a Smithy CNC mill 1240. And a regular mini lathe (microlux 7x14) With the mini lathe mounted to the table of my mill, and a lathe tool mounted to the neck of my spindle. I can perform CNC lathe operations, with no extra hardware! I simply use the mill's CNC capabilties to perform CNC lathe jobs! Check out my pictures and tell me what you think. And I am happy to answer any questions.
