Right now what I want to do is beyond my arduino capabilities, but I am working on that. What I want to do is basicly a CNC type wood lathe. I am good for now with the motor knowledge I have . What I need some info on is the Measurement side of things. I would like to use a laser distance measure. …

Your challenge will be to KNOW how far the laser has moved between measurements. How will you actually move the laser? A lead screw?
