[mdred68]

Im looking to buy a cnc lathe. The microkinetics 12 x 36 cnc lathe is about what im looking for. Does anyone out there own one or have any expierence with one. Thank you.

Why not look at a used machine with a commercial control? Even a Haas. About the same size as that machines and not a converter manual lathe design. I am betting a used Haas would be about the same price as that thing new. I think a Haas TL-1 went around 20k near new around here.

I have seen older fully enclosed slant beds going way cheaper at auction.

I just bought a Haas TL1 with less than 40 hours on it in a divorce sale for $9,000.00
