[TitaniumCannons]

Hi Again you all
This is my delima what i need the lathe for is to turn brass & titanium for scale cannons i have a DV59 hardinge lathe with a split bed. One thought is to convert it to cnc with mach 3 thk rail & ball screws for a x travel of 30 or so inches and 12 on the X. I fiqured it may run between 2-3 k.

Or i have an opportunity to get a Microkinetics CNC 1340 lathe thats made in 2007 and has less than 2 hr on it reason why the low hours are because he is having the parts made elsewhere. he has around 13k in it and wants 6-8k is this a good deal.

I had look in this forum for info on this lathe and its about 50/50 or so one guy here that makes paintball parts has one and is happy with it and another has problems with the tool path and usb port.

Below are some images of the work that will be done on it. Again Thanks for any input information you may beable to advise thanks Austin
