Welcome to the forum Phil,

There are a lot of us from Ohio here. I have a TM1 also, no CNC lathe but I am slowly working on that. Been doing the CNC thing about 2.5 years now and so we are both relatively new to this, it does get in your blood.

I agree, I hate turning dials, to easy to screw up.

Hi. I'm fascinated by the amount information a person can pick up on here, however the majority of it seems to be in favour of milling. I'm fairly new to cnc programming but have been turning for about 8 years now on capstans and wickman multi spindle auto's. Are there any others in the same frame as me, and are there any English setters/programmers out there?

Herberts?

Got herberts in the other part of workshop but don't really get to go on them too much. Occasionally I get a chance to go back to the real machines but most of my time is spent on cnc's now.Also got a nasty colchester dlectronique mastiff which drives me up the wall.
