I have often wondered why people don't just use a horizontal lathe definition and post.

I have use it for control definition and post, but machine definition is different.On TOS i have turent on z-axis and all of that on x-axis. and it is different from  horizontal.but I will tray in a morning. Thanks for advice.But i would like to make for vertical.I would like to know where i make mistake.

Is this a simple 2 axis vertical?  Why will the generic VTL not work?  At least as your starting point any way?
