Introduction

So what is a lathe?

The most basic parts of a lathe include:

1) Head stock
2) Tail stock
3) Chuck

Construction

Step 1) can we control a stepper motor using an Arduino?

Step 2) Can we now run two stepper motors using an Arduino?

Step 3) Can we mount the two stepper motors onto a rail and how one movable?

Step 4) Can we construct a glassblowing "chuck" to be mounted on the stepper motors?
