I bought an 8x14 lathe from Bob Bertrand of Lathemaster Metalworking that had been damaged in shipping. It was perfect for a CNC conversion .  I will be documenting the progress of this project on this page.

Ready to install the new Variable speed motor
Here's the 8x14 stripped of almost everything. I am ready to install the Variable speed motor.  I have to do some modifications to the lead screw for the conversion then its ready to re-install.

Next step will be modifying the cross-slide and saddle.
