If anyone has questions let me know.

Excellent build you have pulled off here, the machine looks really professional. I too was thinking of building (eventually, alot of projects on the plate ATM) a slant bed lathe, but comparing my concept to yours, yours is much easier.

Any plans to put a turret on your X axis?
Are you using steppers or servos for your axis?
Which grizzly was your donor lathe?
I see you have plans you drew up in solidworks. Any chance I can get a copy, if you don't mind so I can have a more detailed look? I'd love to build something similar.
Any chance you can do a slow walk-around video of your lathe?

Thanks, no plans for a turret at this time, but it would be a nice addition. Maybe in the future. I use DC servos and will add some details. The headstock came from a G9249. Send me a PM and we can discuss the files. I'll be pulling it away from the wall soon and will get some pictures, space is too tight for a real walk around.

Here's a 5 minute video of threading the drawbar for the collet closer that's installed now. Rigid tapping will be next to get set up.

PM sent.

Looking forward to that walk-around when you get a chance to pull it off the wall.
