Trying to get a little direction here. Have mostly mill and 2 axis lathe experience. Also have experience modding posts but I am no pro. Reseller is striking out finding a post so I would like to know if anyone has a good place to start for this or which generic post may be be the closest?

Also, I am curious, being new to these machines but not milling, will I be able to program milling operations just like a mill or will this be a whole new learning curve? I envision being able to turn like a lathe, but mill like a mill. I am hoping that having Y means I can more or less use the C as an indexer only. Never did get the hang of programming C axis.
