Modern lathe options?

Not sure what drive you have but the Hitachi programming was pretty straight forward using MKSJ's (hobby machinist forum) documentation, software was free from Hitachi.
thanks for that- I have the same drive as you. Ill look into this info. im just not the sharpest cookie on the block. Ive got a master electricians license- wiring the controls would be easy for me. Programming it- i need to go to school or forget about it.

I think it's mentioned in the VFD programming section (page 12) that Hitachi software might not work on Windows 10 but it does. I used it without any issues.
