I've been saving to buy a small CNC lathe to go with my mill for awhile now .
I hadn't planned on buying anything till around the end of the year .
But I keep seeing all these threads about check makers .
So ... If there is enough interest I could speed my plans up a bit .
But it wouldn't be over night , more like two months to have the funds and another month after that to get up to speed with it .
With that said I don't want to get anyone's hopes up or make any promises or have any promises made to me .
But if you guys can agree on a design and a single caliber to start with
I could make a decision on if its something the machine I am looking to buy is capable of doing or not .
So if you guys realy want a check maker , get together and come up with a design .
Simpler is always better of course . and have some very realistic expectations on dimensional accuracy , I know we always hear the braggarts bragging on working within .00000005
But I am not that good .
This is the real world and I won't be working in a climate controlled shop on a $500,000 machine .
Parts within .002 is a realistic expectation
So yea , come to consensus on a design and single caliber and we can go from there .
