Free CNC lathe, you haul.
A friend of mine is getting rid of his equipment. He has my old CNC
lathe a Nakamura ATM2NDX model made in 1977. We bought it new then and I sold it about 15 years ago to this guy. It is an exceptional machine as far as versatility. It has a little 6" chuck but a huge capacity for OD work (I ran up to 20" dia as I recall). Also has a programmable swing-away tailstock. 3 speed transmission and tremendous torque in low range, more than my present 25hp machine. The control is a Mitsubishi 5100A CNC with a display line, no crt. The machine ran up until it last dropped the parameters and he can't get the tape reader to accept the para tape. It's in El Cajon, Ca. just east of San Diego. Free, you haul away...bring all your friends, it's a big machine. He has a web site, I'm not sure of the address but he is Balboa Patterns in El Cajon. Balboa Patterns. 460 Cypress Ln D. El Cajon,CA 92020. 619-588-7365. JohnF |

I don't have room for one of these, but I've always thought this type of
machine woudl be a great opportunity to remove the old control stuff, keeping the servos and amps, and install a new control system using modern components - someone must want to do this "JohnF" wrote in message ...

Too far away.
I would snap this up in a minute. Scrap the present controls and replace with something PC based probably. It would be a really fun project. Oh well. JW |

I'd take the machine if I could get a truck somewhere close to take it.
