hi i hav just aquired a boxford tcl 125 training lathe i have no experiance of cnc lathes although i have programmed cnc lasers for 10 years so i got this as a training thing for myself as i already have a manual lathe.

i have not got any sort of controler with the lathe i see people say they have used 386 pc's 486pc's and bbc computers as well as windows 98.

i have no idea what to use. im told it was run with a 386pc

can anyone help? is there an operating package for this machine? do i need an input/output (i/o) card? how is the pc linked to the lathe????

as you can see im a bit of a novice here and i got no instructions with the machine

many thanks Paul
