    Little CNC lathe?

    I have been thinking about a little Clisbey 2" X 8". Is it a waste of time to CNC one of these? I can get one new for under $ 200.00, but am I wasting my time? I mainly want something to thread with, as I allready have a 9 X 20 for real work. Would this be a good lathe to CNC?

    I think something a little larger might be useful, then if you use something larger, you could probably interchange tooling with the larger one.
