Essential Features to Expect From a Desktop CNC Lathe

Nothing beats the impressive power of a freestanding industrial lathe. Larger models can occupy an entire room and handle parts with dimensions measured in feet, not inches. But while full-sized lathes are incredibly powerful, they aren’t usually suited for small toolroom work or the DIY projects in the home workshop. Here’s where theĀ benchtopĀ CNCĀ latheĀ works better.

29. Create a Peck Drilling Program in Circular or Rectangular Patterns
Using the Circular or Rectangular Drilling Wizards, you can program the machine to drill an un-limited series of holes along the X and Y planes. Program it to drill straight through to your total depth, use a high-speed pecking cycle, or deep hole pecking cycle. You can program the cut-in depth and return point for a controlled peck drill application to maximize chip clearance.
