In a lathe the material of the workpiece spins and the tool remains stationary - a piece of sintered tungsten carbide is then used to peel away material where it isn't wanted. If you need to produce parts which are primarily round this is the machine you should probably be using. This particular machine has a Y axis and live tooling capability which expands the possibilities even more by allowing work to take place off the spindle axis, and perpendicular to it as well. | In a lathe the material of the workpiece spins and the tool remains stationary - a piece of sintered tungsten carbide is then used to peel away material where it isn't wanted.

Actually programming the machine is relatively easy using Fusion 360. We have a number of programming templates in the works which will automate the majority of the process. The (slight) difficulty is in the form of loading the tools in a manner that allows access to all of the work area without colliding with the chuck or another part of the machine enclosure. | Actually programming the machine is relatively easy using Fusion 360.
