  5. Step4 Select a suitable wood lathe knife, and when installing wood lathe cutter, the length of the tool holder bar protruding from the tool holder should be shorter than 50mm, and the tool holder bar must have the length of 150mm. The tool must be steady fixed on the tool holder. And when processing large workpieces (more than 500mm in diameter), the feed rate should not be too large. RicoCNC

  7. Step6 Keep the cutting edge of the turning tool sharp. Using a blunt wood lathe knife will affect the quality and cause accidents easily. RicoCNC

  10. Step9 Grinding the surface of the workpiece with sandpaper can improve the surface quality. The sanding should not be pressed by hands too hard. The sandpaper should move at a uniform speed along the surface of the workpiece, to prevent surface damage. RicoCNC

  11. Step10 The feed rate at the beginning of work should be set low. And when turning glue-bonded wood, make sure is fully glue together before processing on a lathe. RicoCNC

  12. Step11 The rotating speed of CNC lathe machine is determined by the dimensions and materials of the processed parts. It should not be too fast to prevent workpiece flying out and hurt people; RicoCNC

  13. Step12 Select a right spindle speed. Turn large-scale workpieces at a slower speed, because large workpieces have large inertia when rotating, fast turning is easy to cause accidents. When turning small workpieces, the speed can be appropriately faster, and the faster turning speed can obtain a smooth and clean workpiece surface. And it is best to cut the square workpiece near round shape at first. RicoCNC

  14. Step13 Strictly abide by the safe operation rules of CNC woodworking lathe. Before starting the machine, check whether all parts are in normal condition. RicoCNC

  15. Step14 The operator must oil and clean the movable parts of the equipment once a day. RicoCNC

  16. Step15 The mechanics perform maintenance on each transmission part regularly. RicoCNC
