It’s a really cool little CNC- comes with a monitor, some bits, etc. I never learned CNC programming, so I only used the hand controls to make a few small things.
It’s very precise, and would be ideal for production work, making small precision bits and pieces.
I would consider trading for a manual lathe or mill, of equal or lesser value.
I don’t have any actual pics today, will have some later.
here’s a video of one in action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZjGQbq9ges
Mine is very similar, only it doesn’t have the red tool changer.
if i had the cash for this, i would buy it for my basement and teach myself to use it. how hard are these to figure out? my 2 best friends work in machine shops and i hear about how much money can be made with these types of equipment.
nah. im not sure i ever used the cnc lathe at SH. I only used the mill and manual lathes. Blake and Lesser were in my class, back when Blake was a badass.
