I bought the legendary Emco Compact 5 CNC lathe. This is a small Benchtop mini CNC machine made back in the 1980s for educational purposes.
It's an ideal machine to start with in the CNC world as there are a lot of educational documents and instructions available for this machine.
In this video I introduce you to the new addition to my workshop and show you all the features of the machine.
And if you wonder: There will be definitely still some Mini Lathe content here. I have planned some videos of the new Emco in the future but I have still a lot of projects in mind with my Mini Lathe.
I hope you enjoy this video and the new machine as much as I do.
Let me know what you think in the comments.
If you don't want to miss new videos on this machine and on my other projects, please consider to subscribe to my channel.
Thank you very much for your support! I really do appreciate that!
