Lathe CNC Conversion

Been going on a long time...

 

 

 

Fixture Plate : So I can quickly drop vises, rotary tables, and parts on and they'll be perfectly aligned every time.

Still just in planning stage...

 

Incomplete Projects: These are some projects I have started, not completed, and probably won't complete. Usually I decide the project is no longer necessary before finishing, for example because I intend to convert the machine to CNC.

Never gonna be completed by design...
