We own an Emco compact 8 lathe. Are you aware of this make and model and is it possible to install a retrofitted CNC system onto the existing hardware as with the sherline?

I tried to get MyT’Mill to work with an Emco lathe once. Don’t know if it was an Emco compact 8 model. Emco did some funny things in the electronic hardware so that it took more than just a step and direction signal to make it work. They have some kind of security built in so everyone has to buy their software.
