I'm converting my lathe to CNC. It's actually a wood lathe, and will be cutting wood.

For the main project I'm converting it for I will need 3 tool changes. So I would like to put a tool changer on it. I have been doing some searching and the ones made for the small Emco or Pro-line metal lathes look like they would be perfect. But really any small changer would probably work.

I'm not to worried about the electronic side of things that's simple enough. I plan to use Mach 4 to control it. I can build a circuit to run a stepper to handle tool changes. But I don't really have the skill or access to equipment to build my own (The lack of skill being the real problem ).

I'd also like a little feedback from anyone who is using one of these and has any advice.

My question is where can I find one. I've looked on eBay and there are a couple but I was wondering if anyone knows of a different source?
