My stepper lathe is fine for normal turning and boring. However, one place where CNC can really make life easier on a lathe is peck-drilling holes with a drill held in the toolpost. My lathe does not seem to struggle at all with turning cuts within the torque limit of the spindle, but stall immediately if trying to push a drill > 10mm. It is this that has me fitting a 1kW servo to the Z axis of my new conversion project. (And the fact that there is room, and I had the motor available) -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
