In my pursuit of enhancing workshop capabilities, I decided to transform my manual lathe into a CNC powerhouse. This transition allowed me to automate and streamline various machining processes, significantly increasing efficiency and precision in my workshop. The conversion process was a challenging but rewarding endeavor, as I gained valuable experience in CNC retrofitting and programming. Now, with a CNC lathe at my disposal, I can take on a wider range of projects and continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in my workshop.
