Cutting lathe

CNChorizontalservo-driven

The lathe dedicated to LYNX TERMCUT hot wire cutters is adapted to the machine’s height. It’s used for carving round, symmetrical objects like railings and columns. When combined with a milling tool, it’s used for shaping asymmetrical 3D objects. The CNC cutter lathe is an automated computer-controlled device, operated by a stepper motor. It consists of two movable holders mounted on the machine table. Carving using the lathe and CNC cutting machine can be done in 3 ways: • lathe + straight wire. • lathe + shape wire. • lathe + milling tool. Lathe + Straight Wire Carve symmetric 3D objects using the CNC cutter lathe and straight wire: • Prepare the object’s contour design in the LYNX TERMCUT cutter program or import predesigned vector graphics. • Set the number of cutting sections; you can set from 4 to 180 sections to achieve a quadrilateral or circular shape. • Place the foam block horizontally between the lathe holders and set the starting point. • Send the file with the settings to the cutter (with a single click), press start, and wait for the machine to carve the designed shape. Lathe + Shape Wire In this case, you don’t need to prepare a design since the wire defines the object’s shape. Begin the cutting process by bending the shaped wire into the desired shape. • Set the starting point. • The shaped wire goes into the material. • The lathe rotates the material by 360 degrees. • The shaped wire is pulled out, creating a symmetric object.
