Final Update: Lathe has been sold
A gentleman bought it who will put it to very good use though, and that makes me happy. He makes some sort of air gun upgrade/modification parts, and business is taking off. He's no stranger to Mach, and already has a CNC benchtop mill running under Mach.
Thank you for all your support, directions, and comments gentlemen, it's been a very interesting project and I will miss it.
