You can see the Lathe Build on the CNC Zone as " Manual to CNC Lathe, (pictures) and several shots of the mill making parts for the lathe conversion. I can thread,external and internal,to any diameter /thread pitch ,metric or SAE, profile, groove, turn etc, all with keeping 0.0003-0.0005 tolerance on both the diameter and length. The mill is just as accurate, with all of the bells and whistles..my only problem is keeping the cutting oil off the floor. I know nothing about Mac Mill or Lathe, I do know that Desk CNC is very stable, will do exactley what you program ( right or wrong), has all kind of neat features, you just have to study the manual . If you have a problem that can not be solved, PM me and I will try to help, as I most likley have been there. Adobe (old as dirt)
