The small mill choices expand every year. There is an expanding number of small CNC machines on the market today. Hobbyists and DIYers want the control and quality of a large CNC machine but on a small budget with a smaller size.
With so many choices of lathes to choose from, how would a hobbyist know what is best suited for them? The CNC Lathe 1440 is one machine that offers the desirable features they’re looking for.
5 Reasons to Consider the 1440 CNC Lathe
1.) Precise Manual Control
For some designs, you will want to have a program that can easily take the turning applications and make them into beautiful designs. This is a feature that comes standard in most lathes.
For the shorter runs, programs do not need to be created because this model can easily revert back to manual mode. This gives you total control over how you want to create your piece.
2.) The Best Overall Size
This lathe doesn’t take up as much room as some of its competitors. This makes it easy for a hobbyist to start to turn their own designs in their own location without the machine taking up the majority of the space.
This 1440 lathe is intended for the user needing the ability and performance of a true CNC working lathe without taking up floor space like larger, expensive CNC machines which require highly skilled trained CNC machinists and service technicians to tune and maintain the machine for you.
With a simple, easy setup, this is a CNC machine you can use the day it arrives. It’s the perfect size for any space, whether at home or in the shop, and makes CNC milling a reality.
3.) Keep Your Ideas In-House
Those who are new to using lathes no longer need to look elsewhere in order to make their ideas and visions a reality. The CNC Lathe 1440 is a model that is easy to learn while the novice gradually moves into creating their pieces with CNC.
This lathe is perfect for anyone looking to create their own turning station in order to craft beautiful works. You get smooth, precise cuts to craft even the most delicate item.
You don’t need to worry about keeping anyone else in mind with this model- just start turning! Whether you’re a hobbyist or think you might take an entrepreneurial edge with your creations, take your ideas to reality with the 1440.
Not sure what you can create? The 1440 CNC machines materials such as wax, wood, plastic, aluminum, brass, copper, steel, and stainless steel, and much more.
4.) Save Money
With many buyers of CNC machines, cost is a deciding factor. A CNC lathe, even a smaller one, can easily break the bank.
If this sounds like you, the 1440 is the perfect small CNC machine. It more than matches the precision and ability of other larger lathe machines but at a reasonable price. No longer is owning your own CNC mill out of the question when you shop with CNC Masters.
5.) Full CNC Benefits
We know machinists never want to sacrifice craftsmanship. But most prefer the look and feel of a manual lathe, especially if it is turn-key, easy to use, and most importantly if the machine can begin turning their parts the same day it arrives.
By combining what machinists look for in a manual lathe together with the perks of CNC. Some of the features include
- Computer controlled variable speed
- CSS (constant surface speed), software power feed capabilities
- Run files from popular CAD-CAM software that produce standard G-Code such as Mastercam, Surfcam, etc to machine intricate and detailed parts.
- VisualCAD allows you to draw your part on the computer screen, and VisualCAM will convert that CAD drawing or convert your CAD drawings generated by other sources into a tool path program using G codes.G00 = Position (Fast speed)
