Re: Machining Discussion-Lathes, Mills, CNC.

well actually, i have every intention of turning manually, but as an investment... CNC might be a nice feature which doesnt cost that much more for the simple Sherline package. I would not go into something like this without learning the true art of it. Besides i think you need to understand how machining works in order to write code for CNC. All these machines can be used manually and thats where i plan to start. But should i produce something good i would like to be able to produce it on a larger scale for all modellers to use.
