I'm not sure of the value, I paid $1400 for mine a few years back with a Crusader M L control (has a CRT), but the control didn't work right away so I replaced it with EMC2. The servo motors, drives, and all worked fine, just had to replace the control itself. Mine came with an Aloris QC tool block and a pretty nice chuck. Mine doesn't have the powered turret tool changer but that would be nice. It looked like the ebay link I sent you had the servos with it but they are removed. I'm not sure if $1400 is too high or not, but a new CNC Sherline isn't very cheap either. I could probably sell the old control for parts and get a few hundred dollars back. The spindle motor on mine is 7.5hp, I have EMC2 controlling spindle speed and direction using a VFD. The machine weighs around 2500lbs, has an external spindle oil radiator & pump, coolant system, and way lube pump system, home and limit switches, one encoder count is 2 micron, has a spindle encoder for threading, pretty good machine for a home shop in my opinion.

Clamp-on CNC attachment. Roger, I would like to know your opinion as to the "monetary fair value" of such a lathe. I really like that possibility and it is not too far from me. i On Wed, Nov 17, 2010 at 5:31 AM, RogerN <[email protected]> wrote: > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Igor Chudov" <[email protected]> > To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)" <[email protected]> > Sent: Tuesday, November 16, 2010 9:22 PM > Subject: [Emc-users] Retrofitting a manual lathe,off the wall idea? > Clamp-on > CNC attachment. > > >>I have a Clausing 6913 14x48" lathe.
