Pictures of things made in Home Shop CNC

Hi I have added some photos of my CNC Slant Bed Lathe in the My CNC Slant Bed Lathe album. It is running om Mach3 and works fine. I need to change the break out board as it does not support treading. I need also to shim the spindel side plate to improve the the accuracy.
 
I added some 20 pix to the album but I´m not able to find them. May be I have not posted enough, this is my second post to the forum?? I read something about at least 3 posts before uploading so I will add one moer post:)

Your pictures posted. Cool machine! We see a lot on CNC mills but not so much on CNC lathes. For the sake of us CNC nerds a write up on your build would be good reading.

Thanks for posting.
 
I must be missing something. I don't see any pictures.
 
I have previously build an CNC Router/3D printer and this was my fist experience with CNC. I like designing and figuring out how to do this and make that and finally building things.
I found a couple of DIY lathes on the internett and looked at "real machines", than I made the general specification and decided which components to use. I designed is in Inventor. To avoid stress in the steel I decided to build it without welding. In this design I figured it would be easier to get everything in alignement.

Machining the ribs. Drilled and tapped in the same set up. A lot of tapping . Here as well my X3 was used to the limit.

I milled the bottom of the side plates and the ribs in the mill but drilled with a magnetic drill. I hate not using the mill DRO. I used the frame as a work bench, heavy stuff
