I'm fairly new to cnc/mill/lathe stuff, but heard about DRO (digital read-outs) and how you would want that on a lathe at least. Since we have a CNC at the space, but no mill - I want to have a handheld controller for the CNC to use it as a mill without using any computer controls. That would be on my bucket list, if I'd build a CNC - DROs (if necessary) and handheld remote.

We already have a little update before the next post.
the machine will have a minimum of four movement Axis, X,Y,Z as in a classcal cartesian machine + A as arotational axis, enabluign it to be used as a CNC lathe and for 4 axis machining.
The 4th axis will utilize two motorized lathe chucks I already have, which means we need to learn about dual wielding /syncronizing two axis.

Let me know some weird features you 'd like to see!
