Standard Modern Hybrid Lathe

[Mike R]

So this is a first for me - found this while shopping for my coworker who is looking for a ~13" lathe for his shop.

I've not seen a commercially made hybrid lathe (hybrid between cnc and manual). This is reminiscent of @slow-poke lathe conversion, same brand and obviously fairly old looking (late 80's or early 90's?)
Curious what they're asking, but I hate it when they put request a quote on it when I'm just idlly browsing.
Neat seeing it have 2 encoder knobs and no handwheels.

That's a very handsome machine.

Interesting, I imagine these will be more and more common.

Stanko in AB has such cycle lathes but in larger sizes

Has your coworker looked at this 1340 in Angus?
