Bench Top CNC Lathe Opinions
My company is new to turning and is trying to get a few bench top CNC lathes to do some small ceramic piece turning with. So my question is this: anybody got any manufacturers they have particularly liked? Particularly hated? Why? Any general advice?
For further background, in our attempts to be economical we now have a MircoKinetics lathe that we have not been very satisfied with. I have read/heard to avoid lathes assembled from Chinese parts, which are typically of lower quality, but obviously more competitively priced. Currently looking into Optimum and MDA precision, but would like some experienced input and more choices. Any opinion on Mach3 control software? Thanks tons for any advice. -

We are using Omini Turns on a Tsugami Chucker and one on a Hardinge AHC. Between the 2 machines they have run about 30 years trouble free.
Programing is relatively easy (Different from real CNCs)
#1 Does not have a tail stock.
#2 Fairly compact but not really portable if you need to carry them up stairs
#3 Good precision
Dyna Mectronics made mills that could be considered bench top, I do not know if they still make lathes and if they or any good or would be bench top -

Mach3 is very intuitive and easy to use. However, it kept losing zero at random intervals on a mini-mill I used. I don't know if it was a quirk in the machine or the software.
Also, if your Mach3 never seems to get G2 and G3 right... try putting a G91.1 at the beginning of every program you write. It has something to do with how the control fetches the zero point for a circle. Use G90 and G91 normally in addition. -

Hi everyone, i have converted many Denford and Boxford desktop mills and lathes to Mach3, they're not production machines but on small runs they cope well.
I've never had any problems with zeros or G2 G3 moves with mach, but some people have had problems with control issues on the computer from other software installed. I always set my computers up with XP and Mach3 and nothing else.
You may find find them a bit thin on the ground in the USA. -

For your application I believe you will find the Omni Turn machines desirable as they are easy to repair and ceramic dust tends to damage machine parts over time. There are several shops locally running them and they have a pretty good reputation. They are not benchtop machines but they are small and accurate and pretty cost effective.
I can understand if you are not happy with the MicroKenetics machines, they have always been tough to work with.

I looked very seriously at the Omniturns...I never heard a bad thing about them...for what they are. Good, robust, accurate machines but somewhat limited for certain production and fell short where I needed...so went with a larger CNC that was more versatile.
Small lathe...you may want to look at the Haas Office lathe. I have a few customers that love theirs...I looked into one very quickly, just not enough machine for my application..but given the right circumstances it could have been a real asset for very little space. -

Why the big need for a turret? I have a Mazak QT-8 and a Hardinge DV 59 with a CNC gang tool attachment and for small parts 1" and less the Hardinge will run circles around the Mazak in regard to cycle time. Its just a matter of marring up the right parts to the right machine.
There are used Omni turns and Hardinges that pop up on EBay from time to time ~10k or less for some pretty decent machines. If I had it to do over again I would go with the Omni control over a Fagor control any day. -

Simple really. For me, it's more about your last sentence. The types of parts we do are better suited to a turret than a gang.
And cycle times don't really mean squat for us because it's all prototyping. I'll likely never make another widget like the widget I just made. -

Haas sold the gt-20 with a turret like this one:
1 Haas HAAS CNC CONTROL, Max. 4000 rpm, Haas GT20, , CNC LATHES - Machine Tools - Second hand machinery - Wotol.com
My old shop teacher just got one in for the shop, he seems to like it. Its a nice sized smaller lathe.
Jason,
Not to be confused with Turing.
This article is about the machining operation. For the generic use of the word, see rotating.
| This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2010) |
Turning can be done manually, in a traditional form of lathe, which frequently requires continuous supervision by the operator, or by using an automated lathe which does not. Today the most common type of such automation is computer numerical control, better known as CNC. (CNC is also commonly used with many other types of machining besides turning.)
When turning, a piece of relatively rigid material (such as wood, metal, plastic, or stone) is rotated and a cutting tool is traversed along 1, 2, or 3 axes of motion to produce precise diameters and depths. Turning can be either on the outside of the cylinder or on the inside (also known as boring) to produce tubular components to various geometries. Although now quite rare, early lathes could even be used to produce complex geometric figures, even the platonic solids; although since the advent of CNC it has become unusual to use non-computerized toolpath control for this purpose.
The turning processes are typically carried out on a lathe, considered to be the oldest machine tools, and can be of four different types such as straight turning, taper turning, profiling or external grooving. Those types of turning processes can produce various shapes of materials such as straight, conical, curved, or grooved workpiece. In general, turning uses simple single-point cutting tools. Each group of workpiece materials has an optimum set of tools angles which have been developed through the years.
The bits of waste metal from turning operations are known as chips (North America), or swarf (Britain). In some areas they may be known as turnings.

Turning operations
Turning specific operations include:- Turning
-
- Tapered turning
- a) from the compound slide b) from taper turning attachment c) using a hydraulic copy attachment d) using a C.N.C. lathe e) using a form tool f) by the offsetting of the tailstock - this method more suited for shallow tapers.[2]
-
- Spherical generation
- The proper expression for making or turning a shape is to generate as in to generate a form around a fixed axis of revolution. a) using hydraulic copy attachment b) C.N.C. (computerised numerically controlled) lathe c) using a form tool (a rough and ready method) d) using bed jig (need drawing to explain).[2]
-
- Hard turning
- Hard turning is a turning done on materials with a Rockwell C hardness greater than 45. It is typically performed after the workpiece is heat treated.[3]
-
- The process is intended to replace or limit traditional grinding operations. Hard turning, when applied for purely stock removal purposes, competes favorably with rough grinding. However, when it is applied for finishing where form and dimension are critical, grinding is superior. Grinding produces higher dimensional accuracy of roundness and cylindricity. In addition, polished surface finishes of Rz=0.3-0.8z cannot be achieved with hard turning alone. Hard turning is appropriate for parts requiring roundness accuracy of 0.5-12 micrometres, and/or surface roughness of Rz 0.8–7.0 micrometres. It is used for gears, injection pump components, hydraulic components, among other applications.[3]
- Facing
- is part of the turning process. It involves moving the cutting tool at right angles to the axis of rotation of the rotating workpiece.[1] This can be performed by the operation of the cross-slide, if one is fitted, as distinct from the longitudinal feed (turning). It is frequently the first operation performed in the production of the workpiece, and often the last- hence the phrase "ending up".
- Parting
- Grooving
- Boring
- Enlarging or smoothing an existing hole created by drilling, moulding etc.i.e. the machining of internal cylindrical forms (generating) a) by mounting workpiece to the spindle via a chuck or faceplate b) by mounting workpiece onto the cross slide and placing cutting tool into the chuck. This work is suitable for castings that are to awkward to mount in the face plate. On long bed lathes large workpiece can be bolted to a fixture on the bed and a shaft passed between two lugs on the workpiece and these lugs can be bored out to size. A limited application but one that is available to the skilled turner/machinist.[2]
- Drilling
- is used to remove material from the inside of a workpiece. This process utilizes standard drill bits held stationary in the tail stock or tool turret of the lathe.
- Knurling
- The cutting of a serrated pattern onto the surface of a part to use as a hand grip using a special purpose knurling tool.[2]
- Threading
- Both standard and non-standard screw threads can be turned on a lathe using an appropriate cutting tool. (Usually having a 60, or 55° nose angle) Either externally, or within a bore.[4] Generally referred to as single-point threading.
- tapping of threaded nuts and holes a) using hand taps and tailstock centre b)using a tapping device with a slipping clutch to reduce risk of breakage of the tap.[2]
- threading operations include a)all types of external and internal thread forms using a single point tool also taper threads, double start threads, multi start threads, worms as used in worm wheel reduction boxes, leadscrew with single or multistart threads. b) by the use of threading boxes fitted with 4 form tools, up to 2" diameter threads but it is possible to find larger boxes than this.[2]
Lathes
Main article: Lathe
A lathe is a machine tool used principally for shaping pieces of
metal, wood, or other materials by causing the workpiece to be held and
rotated by the lathe while a tool bit is advanced into the work causing
the cutting action. Lathes can be divided into three types for easy
identification: engine lathe, turret lathe, and special purpose lathes.
Some smaller ones are bench mounted and semi-portable. The larger
lathes are floor mounted and may require special transportation if they
must be moved. Field and maintenance shops generally use a lathe that
can be adapted to many operations and that is not too large to be moved
from one work site to another. The engine lathe is ideally suited for
this purpose. A trained operator can accomplish more machining jobs with
the engine lathe than with any other machine tool. Turret lathes and
special purpose lathes are usually used in production or job shops for mass production or specialized parts, while basic engine lathes are usually used for any type of lathe work.Workholding methods
- Chuck: Chucks are a very common workholding method. There are many types, some for round and square stock, and other for irregular shapes.
- Collet: Primarily used for small round workpieces.
- Faceplate: A faceplate, drive dog, and mandrel may be used to turn workpieces such as gear blanks.
- Drive center: Use hydraulic or spring-loaded teeth that "bite" into the end of workpieces and can be used when the entire length of the workpiece must be machined.
Tooling
Main article: Tool bit
The various angles, shapes, and sizes of a single-point cutting tool have direct relation to the resulting surface of a workpiece in machining operations. Different types of angle such as rake angle, side rake angle, cutting-edge angle, relief angle, nose radius exist and may be different with respect to the workpiece. Also, there are many shapes of single-point cutting tools, such as V-shaped and Square. Usually, a special toolholder is used to hold the cutting tool firmly during operation.Dynamics of turning
Forces
The relative forces in a turning operation are important in the design of machine tools. The machine tool and its components must be able to withstand these forces without causing significant deflections, vibrations, or chatter during the operation. There are three principal forces during a turning process:- The cutting or tangential force acts downward on the tool tip allowing deflection of the workpiece upward. It supplies the energy required for the cutting operation.
- The axial or feed force acts in the longitudinal direction. It is also called the feed force because it is in the feed direction of the tool. This force tends to push the tool away from the chuck.
- The radial or thrust force acts in the radial direction and tends to push the tool away from the workpiece.
Speeds and feeds
Speeds and feeds for turning are chosen based on cutter material, workpiece material, setup rigidity, machine tool rigidity and spindle power, coolant choice, and other factors.See also

![]() |
| Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Drilling is commonly implemented
for mass production. The drilling machine, however, is often a
multi-function machining center that also mills and sometimes turns.
The largest time sink for CNC drilling is with tool changes, so for
speed, variation of hole diameters should be minimized. The fastest
machines for drilling varying hole sizes have multiple spindles in
turrets with drills of varying diameters already mounted for drilling.
The appropriate drill is brought into position through movement of the
turret, so that bits do not need to be removed and replaced. A
turret-type CNC drilling machine is shown below. A variety of semi-automated drilling machines are also used. An example is a simple drill press which, on command, drills a hole of a set depth into a part set up beneath it. In order to be cost-effective, the appropriate type of CNC drilling machine needs to be applied to a particular part geometry. For low-volume jobs, manual or semi-automated drilling may suffice. For hole patterns with large differences in sizes and high volume, a geared head is most appropriate. If holes are close to each other and high throughput is desired, a gearless head can locate spindles close together so that the hole pattern can be completed in one pass. For further reference for CNC processes, please refer to the CNC, metal forming section.

The Haas DT-1 is a compact, high-speed drill and tap machine with full milling capabilities. The machine has a 20" x 16" x 15.5" (xyz) work cube and a 26" x 15" T-slot table. A powerful BT30 taper inline direct-drive spindle provides 12,000 rpm, and allows rigid tapping at speeds to 5000 rpm. A high-speed, 20-pocket tool changer swaps tools quickly, while 2400 ipm rapids and high accelerations combine to shorten cycle times and reduce non-cutting time.

CNC drilling machine - FINISHED!
With the new path finding routines in our CNC drilling software, and
changes to the firmware to allow the user to manually jog the drill head
up and down to get more precise alignment during initial set-up, we're
finally happy to say that our cheapo CNC drilling machine is finally
complete.
Or at least, complete to a state that we're happy to release for anyone else to have a go at making their own.
The last little part of the test was making sure that the machine could drill a PCB even when placed on the cutting bed at an angle. Here's a video showing exactly that:
The drilling is accurate enough for us now (there's still a little bit
of play in the x-axis, but we seem to have done enough to remove/reduce
any play in the y axis, even when the bed still needs to travel
up-and-down in order to correct for the board being at an angle)
Here's the final board, as drilled in the video:
The holes on the bottom-right-hand edge may not be absolutely bang on, but they're good enough to make the board usable, and are about as accurate as you could get by drilling the board by hand. The photo seems to emphasise the amount of drift - it's probably less than 0.5mm away from the centre of the hole.
Having successfully completed a cnc drill test, we put the machine away!
We reckon our machine fulfills all the criteria set in the CNC drill challenge.
It's been a long (and sometimes painful) journey, but it feels great to finally complete a project, not just to a point where it's working, but to be able to compare it to a list of criteria drawn up at the start, and to be able to tick every one off the list!
Along the way we were introduced to brushless motors and their servo-protocol control boards, created our own stepper motor control boards and our own USB-based protocol for moving them, and proved that rack-and-pinion gearing can be used just as successfully for CNCs as belt drives and leadscrews.
If we were to do the whole thing again?
Probably it'd look pretty similar. Maybe instead of a travelled bed-on-wheels we might use rails (similar to the x-axis) because there is a lot of play in the y-axis. But then again maybe not?
Any improvements?
Of course. Better stepper motors would be a great start. When energised, a stepper motor should have no movement in it at all - our steppers have 1mm-2mm of play because of the internal gearing. But then again, this does give us simple movement commands - no messing about with micro-stepping or any of that tricky stuff! We love the simplicity of the rack-and-pinion approach: belt-drives and leadscrews may be more popular, but we reckon we'd stick with ours.
The custom software is enough to make the device usable, but the protocol for sending x- and y- axis values is so simple that allow anyone else can write their own controller software. The latest firmware not only allows you to set a the number of steps to move in both x- and y- axes, but you can also now provide a "ratio" (for every three steps in x, move one in y for example). This means that if a vector line is broken down into enough parts, the machine could be modified to do simple milling - an idea that Justin from BuildBrighton is already working on!

We reckon our machine fulfills all the criteria set in the CNC drill challenge.
- You can load NC compatible drill files to operate the machine
- It cost less than £50 to build, completely from scratch with new (no salvaged) parts
- It's accurate to within 0.5mm (despite the dodgy cheapo stepper motors)
- The footprint is less than a sheet of A4 (in storage mode, it's about 210mm x 160mm)

The availability of inexpensive electronics has again changed the way speed control may be applied by allowing continuously variable motor speed from the maximum down to almost zero RPM in CNC big bore lathe . This had been tried in the late 19th century but was not found satisfactory at the time. Subsequent improvements in electric circuitry have made it viable again.
