Two Bridgeport R2E4 and One Hardinge Superprecision CNC MH-CHNC
lathe. The lathe, specifically, looks like a good retrofit candidate. In Morrison, IL (near Davenport and Clinton). I am not going, of course. http://www.bidspotter.com/forms/photo.php?photo=9661697 http://www.bidspotter.com/forms/photo.php?photo=9661661 http://www.bidspotter.com/forms/photo.php?photo=9661579 |

Iggy, you know you need a CNC lathe VBG I do know this, but for now I have suspended all machine acquisition etc activities, because I work on my website in all my spare time. Things have changed greatly in September and I have a sense of urgency about this website stuff now. Plus, I am not sure if I need a CNC lathe at all, as most of the things that I do on a lathe are best done manually. It is different from milling. Like, the day before yesterday I had to shorten a threaded section of a handle and put a bevel on it. It took a minute to do on my manual lathe. I bet it would be longer on a CNC. I do not know that much, of course. So I look at all those things, drool, but I pass them all for now. i |

If you got tapers, rounds, threads, lot of different tools, need more than one; CNC is the way to go. Karl |
