My QCTP Replacement

[ruzzie]

I first started designing my turret in 2009 fast forward to 2016 and I am finally putting the finishing touches to an 8 station turret for my Emco V8 lathe, with the plan of converting it to a CNC .
I want to complete the CNC conversion asap so I can start churning out all the little parts needed for the various part built engines in the workshop. At last count I need to make 32 valves for 3 engines

That's a nice cervical coupling you made. At first I thought you were making a horizontal turret, like the Hardinge CHNC design, but then I saw it was vertical, like a larger CNC turning center. Nice work.

I need to make some turret tooling for my Levin Turret attachment, but I'm always toying with the idea of making, or retrofitting a cnc lathe instead.

Hope you post more photos.
