Ian,
a couple of years ago I made a whole drawer full of gears, 30 to 240
teeth, for precisely the same purpose, but as I own a tiny combination
mill (called UWG, google it), unfortunalely delivered without gears, but
set up as CNC, I milled them with a stepper powered dividing head and

Gene,
I've been considering cnc-ing my little 7 x 12 for a while
now but other things have had to take priority. However, I
can't see why you wouldn't just want to hang a little Nema
17 motor direct onto the back of the cross slide screw. One

Gene,
I CNC'd one of the red Harbor Freight 7x10's by puttting a gearmotor
with encoder (servo) on the lead screw and another on the x axis by
mounting it on the BACK of the saddle with a sliding coupling made by
drilling a cross hole in the end of the cross slide lead screw and

You all know by now that I have one of those toy 7x12 lathes, this one with

alu) that places the motor facing away from th
