Thread: CNC lathes

Is anyone running a manual lathe with CNC controls on the X or X and Y axis ?

I'm thinking of running an Electronic Lead Screw on the X axis to give me infinite screw cutting pitches and feed speeds.
This electronic stuff is well above my pay grade
But It's worth looking into because I know a few guys who are seriously into automation and programming.

I'm just not sure if it would actually work anything like I expect ?

So if I could find someone to talk to or look at how an ELS actually works in use

Or just spend 20k plus on a lathe with vastly more features and thread cutting options
