What Is A Wood Lathe Machine Used For?

     Semi-automatic lathes are designed for craftsmen & hobbyists.

    Fully automatic lathes are used in small business, home shop, school education, and industrial manufacturing.

    Woodworking lathes are mainly used for cylindrical workpiece, tubular sharp, bowl sharp, roman columns, stair spindles, baseball bats, wood balusters, wood cups, wood bowls, wood vases, table legs, chair legs, sofa legs, ottoman legs, furniture legs, barrels, beads, buddha heads, gourd pendants, wood pens, wood crafts, and wood arts.

    You can call it as stair spindles turning machine, wood cylinder turning machine, wood balusters turning machine, wood bowls turning machine, wood columns turning machine, table legs turning machine, wood vases turning machine, wood crafts turning machine, baseball bats turning machine.

How Does A CNC Wood Lathe Machine Work?

    CNC wood turning is a form of CNC woodworking that is used to create wooden objects with blades. It is different from most of CNC woodworking forms in that the wood is moving while a stationary blade is used to cut and shape it. Many intricate shapes and designs can be made by CNC lathe machines.

    In the process of numerical control turning wood, the numerical control device is a special CNC system that controls the numerical control woodworking lathe and completes the automatic machining of the parts. It receives digital parts patterns, process requirements and other information, and performs interpolation machining operations according to a certain mathematical model. As a result, the speed and position of each movement coordinate are controlled in real time to complete the machining of the parts.

    The working principle is mainly divided into the following four steps:

    Step 1. When turning blanks, first of all, according to the pattern and process plan of the processed parts, write a program list in the format specified by the CNC system used, and record it on the program carrier.

    Step 2. Input the program on the program carrier into the numerical control device through the input device.

    Step 3. After the numerical control device processes the input program, it sends a command to the servo system of each coordinate.

    Step 4. According to the signal sent by the CNC device, the servo system drives the moving parts of the CNC lathe machine through the servo actuator through the transmission device, so that it works in accordance with the prescribed action sequence, speed and displacement, so as to produce the parts in accordance with the drawing.

How Much Does A CNC Wood Lathe Machine Cost?

    If you have an idea to buy a cheap wood turning lathe machine, you may wonder how much does the best wood lathe cost? how to get a fair price or final price? The wood turning lathe machine cost all depends on the machine configurations, inlcuding axis, spindles, blades, cutters, power supply, control system, driving system, other hardwares and softwares. The final price range of CNC wood turning lathe machine is from $2800.00 to $11180.00. If you want to buy overseas, the final price need to add the fee of tax, customs clearance and shipping costs.
