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
