I was going to run some parts through my CNC lathe this weekend, and found the power supply for the computer had died.

While waiting for a replacement, I instead tooled up the pre-World-War-2 turret lathe for the same part, and cranked out fifty some odd pieces.

Not as fast, and certainly not as effortless, but arguably more fun to operate. :)

W&S Turret Lathe Saves The Day!

The power supply in the control of my Omniturn CNC lathe croaked on me, but of course I still had product I needed to get out. So until I could get that fixed, I turned to my tried-and-true 1939 Warner & Swasey No. 2 Turret lathe. The part is the start of some Nelson-based valve bodies. http://www.docsmachine.com http://wwwthe-whiteboard.com https://www.patreon.com/DocsMachineShop
