@tryally Thanks Luiz,
I have two DIY routers/mills and I'm thinking about CNC lathe, but now I'm gathering all necessary info(and funds)to buy or convert my manual lathe. Love your videos, waiting to see your next, like always, superb video.
Best Regards Mariusz

@bronejam Well, the ultimate 4-axis CNC Mill and Lathe machine Shop package with 4400/4410 lathe and Model 2000/2010 8-direction mil is very cool, I have the 4410 and 2010 and work very well, I recomend in milimeter.
Now the manual thread-cutting attachment, P/N 3100 is good for most of the housework.
I think you should buy the maximun supplies as possible, to avoid future difficulties
Good luck to you and regards from Brazil.

Hi Luiz, for a newbie to lathe machining would you recommend the Sherline accessory # 3100
Thread cutting attachment? I am considering the 8621 package and I am not sure which accessories to buy. I don't live in the US so I wish to combine machine package with the accessories to avoid additional shipping cost (and customs brokerage) later.

I use the ArtCAM software with Mac3 or EMC, are very good.

@tryally How do you make Artcam to generate code for lathe?? I thought it's only suitable for cnc milling program.

@wiatroda With the ArtCAN is a little more complicated but have a pluin for it, work well.
Once you get used it's easy to do anything in 2 and 3D.

Hi Mariusz,
Thanks for you comment.
I think in new videos recorded as soon as possible.
Recently I bought a new camera for that.
I remember you that in this video (thread) I dont use CAD to make it.
The program was made with hands (in nail)
I'll go considering your idea of step by step for my new videos too.
Best regards from Brazil
