CNC Lathe Turning is a highly specialized form of machining which produces sophisticated shapes by the use of CNC technology. Today, many people are looking to do cnc turning in their home workshop. In this guide we take a look at what cnc lathe turning is, how it's done (I'm assuming you've got the basics handled), and what tools you'll need to get started
What Is CNC Lathe Turning
CNC Lathe Turning is a form of machining where a computer controlled tool moves along with the workpiece, using software to generate programs for creating complex 3D shapes or objects. It's also referred to as Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining or Computer Aided Machining (CAM). In order for a computer controlled tool to move along with the workpiece, it needs to be programmed with commands that tell it exactly where and how fast it should move from point A to point B. This process is known as programming.
