Tony,

Check out this guy, mrpete222, on YouTube. He is a retired machine shop teacher and does great videos about lathe protocol.

This guy, trainman4602, is a lathe expert and shows techniques for train building but the technical expertise is astonishing.

Lordy that is a great deal! It is CNC controllable isn't it.

I googled the CNC bit and it had me lost at the first page of the PDF but it sure as hell looks the biz!

Have much fun with it mate....I am GREEN with envy (in a nice way!)

Thanks for the links Brendan I will certainly have a good look at the utube for tips and demos. Very useful place.

Jim, I think your right. There are accessories to attach motors to the controls and some sort of screen. The fella I bought the lathe from said he was upgrading to a CNC machine.

Rod that sounds like a good show. Although, I can't go too mad as after all this is a woodworking forum!

Cheers, Tony.
