Wow. What a deal.
 
Ok, so apart from the stack of collets that I'd like...
What sort of work is done on a turret lathe? I don't see any threading ability, which to me means "bushings"?

I make a lot of bushings. Hoping to be making them with a CNC lathe and a bar feeder soon. There is probably some way to use a turret lathe with a tap for internal threading.

I'm sure you can use taps & dies to make inside or outside threads. What I don't think you can do is single point threading without an ELS.
 
I think single point threading is not an option as there's no lead screw that I can see.

Good point. Even ELS needs a lead screw. How about ETF? (Electronic Table Feed) LOL!

Come to think about it, even regular feed ought to be able to single point SOME threads.

Yeah no single point threading but I'm sure there must be some way to tap like people do in a mill with a tapping head. Would not be worth it for a few parts but would be good for things being made by the hundred.
