This is a free image of a CNC lathe finishing the end face of a cylinder using a steady rest. The workpiece is a difficult-to-cut material with a threaded hole and a keyway on the surface. For this reason, we had to dismantle the setup for the inner diameter work, reposition the steady rest near […]
This is a free image of a CNC lathe machining the inner diameter of a cylinder using an anti-vibration boring bar. For long cylinders, it’s common practice to machine from both sides with a shorter tool overhang to ensure rigidity. However, to achieve higher precision (concentricity, straightness, and dimensional accuracy) and avoid a joint mark, […]
This is a free image of a finishing process on a long, thin shaft with low rigidity, performed on a CNC lathe. For roughing, we shorten the workpiece’s overhang to increase rigidity and improve machining conditions. For finishing, we take care to prevent chatter in the central area. If the drawing allows for it, we’ll […]
