I just got a Grizzly G0745, which is a micro lathe (and I know...not a mill). I just unboxed it.

I'm going to CNC this lathe as my first project. I should wind up with a 4" diameter x 6" travel CNC lathe when I'm done. Some of the bits can be used down the road with my other CNC's I plan on building. Looks like I'm going to be learning Mach 3
I'm 90% certain I'm going to get the Grizzly G8689 Mini MIll (SIeg X2 clone). THey have the best and largest presence in the US. Harbor Freights "Central Machinery" brand is in 2nd place...but I honestly think they have more equipment in the field. The CNC Fusion kit #2 fit's this model.
Now...I'm scrounging old end mills and bits from work. Dumpster diving for stock to play with....
Cheers!
Jay
