    Mini Lathe CNC conversion

    Hey guys,

    I was wondering if anyone here knew anything about converting a Little Machine Shop HiTorque 7x12 Mini Lathe to CNC. I'm extremely new to CNC, and turning in general and I would like to purchase a mini lathe that is convertible to CNC. I will be working mainly with small pieces of stainless steel, around 9mm in diameter and about 5cm long. I would like to hear what you guys think would be the best mini that is convertible, or preferably conversion options for the mini lathe mentioned above.

    Thanks,
    Kevin D.
