That thing looks like it could be fun. I love how the warining label admonishes to run with "The guards on and doors closed" when there is no sign of either :)

It refers to the shop doors: just today a bee coming from outside crashed into my running drill bit!!!
 
New to me Ebay CNC Metal Lathe has 3ph power!!
Wired it up powered to my rotary phase converter.
Results so far:
Powered right up - Dynapath Delta 10 controls
No Dynapath faults
I have X motion
No Z motion yet so need to verify wiring
I have spindle control via control knobs - CW and CCW
I have 5c collet closing control via buttons

Video tomorrow when there is more light
 
That's an awesome deal. I'm looking forward to seeing the video. The cnc bug has bit me and I'm thinking about converting a small lathe only common sense and money is holding me back. Only one of those is a serious issue though. :pondering:
 
Both axis work - they just had the 4th axis buttons controlling the Z axis.

My servo drives come on and go off occasionally - Guessing an issue with my RPC powering this.

Here is a video of it all working.

A gloat doesn't even come close to the deal you got...... How DARE you tease us with this......:roflmao:
 
The cnc lathe got flipped today for a brand new in crate Baileigh PL1340E. I am sure I will regret this someday but I could really use teh larger manual lathe right now. Plus if I kept it I would prob sink a lot of cash in it as I really like my Centroid controller on the mill.
