These are meant for teaching CNC programming on commercial machine controls, and come
with a simulator for big machine control panels. I don't know if they will sell just the
lathe without their software (which is their real product). So, I'm guessing the whole kit will
be quite expensive.

And, then you'd have to tear it apart to get at the connections to run it from LinuxCNC.
I suspect there would be much cheaper routes to get a small lathe running.
