CNC Wood Turning Lathe for Table Leg and Pool Cue Making

Demo: How Does This 4 Axis CNC Wood Turning Lathe Work?

The following video consists of two parts primely, the first half is a photos show, and the second half is a real shot of how a lathe works.

Can It Lathe A Pool Cue/Billiard Stick?

Please find the answer in the video below.

The billiard stick turned in the video is only 7mm thick at the small end and 30mm at the big end. Its length is 1300mm. To avoid the workpiece wobble, we set the spindle speed to 700RPM; in order to get a smooth finish, we set the speed of the saw blade tool to 18000. This machining strategy is a perfect lathe solution for long and thin projects. So, EA-TL1530ST4 is a perfect billiard cue lathe. 

What Are the Differences Between 3-axis and 4 Axis CNC Wood Lathe?

• The 3-axis and 4-axis we are talking about here refer to the maximum number of simultaneous axes of the wood lathe. Therefore, 4-axis is capable of four axes simultaneous during processing; while, 3-axis can be only three axes simultaneous.

• The 4-axis turning lathe has an independent stepping motor behind the electric spindle, which enables the spindle to move up and down (as shown on the left of the picture given below); 3-axis doesn’t have this stepper (on the right).

• Accordingly, the controllers of the two are different. 4-axis needs to be equipped with 4-axis simultaneous controller, while 3-axis only needs to be equipped with a 3-axis type.

• 4 axes can make the spindle move up and down, but 3 axes cannot. Based on this, 4-axis is capable of engraving on a plain surface just like a cnc wood router.

Advantages of EagleTec CNC Cue Lathe Machine

• AC servo motor is equipped to drive the rotary axis, which is a much better choice than the 3-phase asynchronous motor. Click here to learn the difference between both.

• The wood turning lathe is configured with one rotary, two chisels, and one electric spindle for broaching. See the picture below for details.

• There are divisions between the two chisels, one for roughing and one for finishing, which doubles milling speed and throughput.

• The mechanism of the gimbal can make the electric spindle work in the horizontal direction and in the vertical direction as well. The picture below is the gimbal.

• This model is a 4 axis cnc wood lathe, its maximum number of simultaneous axes is also 4 axes. If the 4 axis is not required, please check our 3 axis cnc wood lathe machine.

• Linear motion axes are driven by YAKO YKA2811MA stepping driver.
