wanted, small desktop cnc lathe (slant bed)

[Tom Allen]

this is probably a long shot, as i've been trolling ebay for quite a while.

I'm looking for a cnc lathe along the lines of a denford novaturn, or similar. Preferably slant bed with a 6 or 8 station turret.

Cash very much burning a hole in my pocket.

i have got a cnc mill, which i've just about converted to run off a pc and current software, i now need a cnc lathe for the round bits.

Arr, you could do it with a rotary plate on your mill if you can't find a nice lathe for cheaps...

i have ballscrews, steppers, an x/y table, a 2ft square surface table, all i need to make a cnc lathe is a head with a chuck. But there is a lot more to an accurate lathe than that.

Tom if you get a Matsuura 5 axis we can probably make do without a lathe

if only.
