If you're clever, you can turn a manual machine into a CNC and loose no manual functionality. Convert back & forth with a flip of a switch.

The real problem with CNCing a DV 59 is the carriage might not like to travel, it's designed to be locked in place while in operation. Cirtenly worth looking at, but not sure if it has gibs like a normal lathe. Mounting the carriage on linear rails might be a good solution.

It has gibs and all that I will make with it is small parts because that’s all I do no big parts.
