How to use a CNC lathe to machine metal furniture legs

What is CNC lathe machining?

CNC lathe machining is based on the principle of digital control, the process of machining parts, process parameters, tool trajectory and other information, in the form of digital code recorded on the control medium, such as perforated paper tape, disk, etc.. Then read these information through the numerical control device, after processing and arithmetic, issued a variety of control signals to control the servo system of the lathe to drive the tool and the workpiece to produce relative motion between the parts to complete the processing. Then, specifically how to use this technology to complete the processing of metal furniture legs?

Preparation	Design drawings: prepare CAD drawings.
	Selection of material: e.g. aluminum, steel or stainless steel.
	Check tools: Make sure the lathe and tools are in good condition.
Programming	Generate G-code: Use CAM software or write it manually.
	Simulation verification: Make sure the program is error-free.
Setting up the machine	Fixing the workpiece: Mount the material firmly on the chuck.
	Mounting the tool: Select the right tool.
	Tool setting: Set the workpiece coordinate system.
Machining	Roughing: Initial shaping.
	Finishing: Ensure dimensions and surface quality.
	Inspection: Checks dimensions and shape.
Post-Processing	Deburring: Cleaning burrs.
	Surface Finishing: Polishing, plating or painting.
Cleaning and Maintenance	Cleaning the machine: Cleaning after machining.
	Maintaining equipment: Regular maintenance.

Case Study:

Recently, a customer found us, asked us to find a suitable CNC lathe for their metal furniture legs, the diameter of the metal workpiece is 30mm length of 150mm, we matched the CK6130 CNC lathe can meet his needs.
