Seek recommendations for CNC lathe conversion kits

Post by Adirondack »

Hi folks. I'd like to convert a Harbor freight/Grizzly/Little Machine Shop 7x lathe to CNC operation. There are way too many kits out there to choose from without a little help. I'd prefer "one stop shopping" when it comes to all the little bits and pieces, or a REALLY good bill of materials to help me in my purchasing. What say you?

The Sherline CNC is too small for my needs (though it is nicely made), and I don't have the space or ambition to pick up a clapped out Bridgeport as some have suggested in the past.

Thanks!

A little locomotive with 4 wheels on the track is a lot more fun
than a 1/2 finished one with 16 wheels on the bench!
