Backnife CNC Lathe

I suspect it's the standard Wincnc controller it can support up to 6 axis

If, when you say control, you mean the screenset, it is simply a version of the OEM WinCNC screen that I custom made for this tool.

IF not, and you actually mean control, it is the standard WinCNC controller, with a number of custom modifications to match the parameters of the machine it is designed for. As you can see, WinCNC is very flexible and can be adapted to most any use.

Wow, nice work!

That is really cool! I am a wood turner, and do things like bowls, and peppermills. That is a really smooth finished product. Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Do you use a Vectric program for the part programs?

Yes, VCPro 8 (see post #1)

Hey Guys...
I added some dust deflection and decided to see how my lathe worked turning from a square blank. https://youtu.be/4j_GFr0spSE
