Nice work Wade' O!
I have watched your fixed gantry router vids on Youtube. Also very nice!
I wish I had a CNC lathe, but I have too many projects on the go already. Perhaps one day (fingers crossed). Actually, what would be really cool is if I can turn my 4th axis on the build I'm currently working on into a lathe at some point. Not sure if it's feasible.
Seems like alot of work to keep the manual capability. I wish I knew more about Arduino. I plan to learn some for a 3d printer project I will be doing soon.
Anyhoo, just giving a shout out to say that I'm a fan and thanks for sharing!
