    Help with identifying this lathe!

    Hello,

    I have bought an old lathe retrofitted with an Omni Turn CNC Control. The problem is, I have no clue what brand of machine the original base is. I have attached 2 pictures of the machine. If anyone knows what make it is, please let me know. One man so far has told me it might be a EMIMACH made in england, but I cant find anything about them.

    Thanks for any help

    One thing you need to change is the mounting of the spindle drive, you want to have a 2" air gap all around it or you may get over heating
