The class "Calculations for Programming the Lathe" provides an in-depth explanation of various calculations necessary to determine tool positions on the lathe or turning center. Trigonometry and ...

absolute coordinates, linear and circular interpolation, machine zero, and program zero. Coordinates and axis movements are at the core of operations for a CNC machine. A foundational knowledge of ...

That’s where the lead screw comes in — most lathes have a gear-driven lead screw that can be used to actuate the z-axis ( the one which travels parallel to the axis of rotation). It’s no CNC ...

This is my first attempt at multi-axis turning: a couple of scoops/spoons from walnut and paduak. Multi-axis turning is really an art form of woodworking in itself. It breaks the door wide open from ...

The lathe machines market is a crucial sector within the industrial machinery landscape, driving advancements and efficiencies across various manufacturing processes. A lathe machine is a tool used ...

For the X Axis, the stock ways and lead screw were removed ... the stock parts did making the install a little easier. The lathe is controlled by an old Pentium 4 computer running Mach3.
