Challenge. automatic Lathe.

e14 Contributor

Hi, curently my father and I work on a lathe (woodturning) and the lathe was modded to copy pieces with a kind of modded skillsaw. The cnc project give us the idea that it's probably possible to do an DIY automatic lathe.  Any Ideas??? That could be a nice chalenge.

  • Hi,

     

    Got CNC there is One food starring point.

    Check with the cnczone.com site, there are metal/wood lathes and routers.

    Some are pro machines but also guides got DIY or conversion got non CNC to CNC.

     

    I can say there are tons of information on there bit check for yourself.

    Alexandre,

     

    I had a similar idea some years ago. I ended up making a CNC lathe, which I now sell at Gunhead.com

     

    In fact, I have recently release Version 2 of my lathe. Take a look.

     

    Here is a video from one of my customers who does a lot of wood work. (Using a Version 2)

     

     

    More on this later.
