    Needing a small CNC lathe

    I've seen some pretty impressive cnc lathe machine builds on this Forum. I'm in search of a Grizzly 10x22 lathe that has been converted to CNC, or comparable.
    I have thought about attempting a conversion of my own but need the machine for business purposes and just don't have the time.
    I've seen a few on Ebay from time to time but not many. Hope to hear from someone.
    Thanks,
    Blake

    I got a CNC kit for a 7x from BDTools on eBay. Very happy with it. Arrived quickly. Installed easily (about 2-3 hours of not rushing). And has really impressed me with the quality of work the little 7x can do.

    You'll need to handle the electronics still.

    Depending on your budget, maybe this will be suitable? 12 5/8" x 30" CNC Metal Lathe - CNC Lathes & CNC Milling Machines, CNC Machine Center at Bolton Hardware

    It's a bit bigger than the 10 x 22, but more solid, it looks like. I have no experience with them, just came across them on the net.
