by Lathe on Feb.06, 2010, under Lathe Videos
This is a vidio of a 5 Axis Jog-Learn Spinning Lathe that I designed and built the Conttrol system with Mach3. It has custom Scrrens, Custom Plugin, Macropump, dual function pendant with 2Z-bot mpgs, or you can select a 2 axis jog ball for compound curves, you can run 2 axis at the same time for programming. It records all your moves on all 5 axis. X, Z is standard lathe, A/B is 8 tool turret and angle of attack, Y is the backer wheel for Flanging. The Drives are Automation Direct sureservo, it has 2 bob’s One from cncbuildingblocks and one from CNC4PC. Vic Russel of “Russels Metal Spinning” commisioned me for the Control system. The Crew at Russels metal spinning are responsible for the physical/Mechanical machine build, in which they did and excellent job. If you need a Control system, by all means contact me at SS Systems, LLC or poppabear at the www.Machsupport.com forum site. Scott

Various Types of Metal Lathes (Part 2)
by Lathe on Mar.28, 2009, under Do It Yourself (DIY), Metal Lathe News
This is the second section about the types of metal lathes avaliable for your metal working projects.
You can find might variations of lathes within the metalworking field. You will feel that some variations are not really that obvious, and other are more to a niche area. For example, a centering lathe is a double head machine where the work stays fixed and the heads move towards the workpiece and machines a center drill hole in every end. The appearing workpiece might then be used between centers for another operation. The usage of the term metal lathe might as well measured to some extent outdated these days, plastics and other composite materials are in huge use and with appropriate modifications, the same principles and methods might further be applied to their workholding machining as used for metal.
Capstan lathe
The fresh name for a capstan lathe used in workholding industry is a ram-style turret lathe. A capstan lathe is a manufacturing machine, which combines the features of the basic lathe along with a capstan style tailstock.
Turret lathe
A turret lathe is a manufacturing machine, which to all appearances is alike as the capstan, any how the turret slides straightly on the bed rather than being fixed.
Combination lathe
A combination lathe might introduce drilling or milling operations into the plan of the lathe. These machines uses the carriage and topslide as the x and y axis of the machine.
CNC lathe
CNC lathes are now fast replacing the older production lathes such as multispindle, etc) due to their simple method of setting and operation. They are intended to use modern carbide tooling and fully uses modern processes.
