Home Built CNC Woodworking Lathe

This is the first run of my home built CNC wood lathe. I took my insiration from a home built CNC milling machine I built from BuildYourCNC.com. This is a simple piece where the CNC machine turns square pen blanks into finished pen tubes ready for sanding. I will post more complex items later, but was excited that it worked on my first try. Sorry for the shakey camera work, but I need my other hand to hold the eStop.

Milling on a Chinese lathe

Using a ten inch swing (CQ9325) Chinese lathe to mill a flat onto a steel shaft. The 16 mm HSS slot mill is spinning at 200 RPM and taking a 0.5 mm cut. The oil/kero coolant smokes a bit, but works well and is cheap. The lathe handles this easily with no chatter or shudder occurring. I would normally use an ER32 to hold the cutter but was in a hurry and got by with the standard scroll chuck. How to mill with a lathe is described on my blog at users.picknowl.com.au
