When I first started this Lathe, I didn't plan on doing a CNC desktop type lathe
I just wanted to do a conventional lathe, and after a few month of manufacturing using the CNC Router and collecting part, i realised that the amount of work and technical piece made me realised that i needed more machinery to keep this project livable .
So i came across a clockmaker lathe on ebay for a decent price.
And at that point, this conventional lathe had a huge turnover and became a CNC Lathe.
SIMAT 101
Alphabeta Engineering
made in Norfolk
Brilliant tool
And yes
why not using it as a mill with the crosslide made for the cnc lathe. work like a treat.
And don't worry for all those little scratches on each part
hopefully each piece will be Anodize
