Hi Guys!
Noob inquiry from a laserhead who hangs out on the engraver board.
I'm looking to get into a CNC lathe for the extreme miniature work that I do. That would mean brass turnings that are generally within 3mm to 15mm in length, about .5mm to 3mm diameter.
My questions are, what do I need to know, and what sorts of hardware and software would I need to have.
When I last looked into it, about 10 years ago, it looked very expensive and complicated. I'm hoping times have changed
Thank you! :)
Dave
