This course will cover the process of importing prepared OSD models to construct a lathe with a dual-row tool turret. Over the series of videos, you'll learn how to apply connector points for sub-nodes in the machine setup, apply kinematic limits to chuck jaws and apply first and second row mounting points for live and static tools on the turret.
